The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for forest fire monitoring

With the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles negative impacts of forest fire can be significantly reduced. Through this research it is shown how UAVs can contribute to reducing probability of errors made by tactics on the ground and in air, reaction time, accuracy in decision making and load of people and equipment in peak days. Review of the challenges for using small UAVs was made for the regulations in the Republic of Croatia, also with the detail described proposed system architecture including module for communication, data receiving module, video play module, fire detection module and GIS display module.
