The Challenge -Develop a System that will provide a guaranteed
Link Between Firefighters and Incident CommandJune 30th 2013
The mission objective was relatively simple: Create a
communications link between the firefighter and incident command
that works anywhere on the planet, guaranteed. Unfortunately, the
mission plan proved to be a bit more complex. We had to become
experts at a technology that hadnt been developed yet!
The Prometheus Shield Mission StatementBill KingCEO and Senior
Design Engineer
A New Approach To And Old Problem
Since the first Roman fire brigades under Emperor Nero took the
idea of organized firefighting from Marcus Crassus to form
theVigilesin AD 60 and began to combat fires using bucket brigades
and pumps, firefighting has cost lives.

Personnel And Equipment TrackingUtilizing military-grade
satellite GPS tracking units, mobile uplinks, and satellite phones
to transmit GPS locations.
Incident Command display shows personnel locations in relation
to fire perimeter with 3D fly through of incident areaGroup or
Individual location reporting. Variable report intervals. Geo
Fencing for hazard areas, safety zones, entry/exit notifications,
ICP area, staging areas
The Incident Command Post Display ScreenEmergency Responder
information and tracking unit operation is managed through
SkyRouter and the HawkEye PT+. Man Down feature, waypoints,
pre-defined operational profiles
A large format computer from is set up at the ICP. Position
reports are displayed on the screen relative to the fire perimeter.
The touchscreen monitor allows for annotations to be made directly
on the screen. Division and group assignments, escape routes,
safety zones, etc. are all easily visible. Images can be exported
to the ICS 201 Incident Briefing form
Prometheus Shield is licensed to order World-View 3 Short Wave
Infrared Imagery (SWIR) satellite imaging using an Emergency Task
Order (ETO). Prometheus Shield contracts FAA and Forest Service
approved UAV operators to provide perimeter mapping updates on
2-hour intervals. In addition, UAV resources provide on-demand fire
behavior imaging.Prometheus Shield is programmed to accept
streaming video from multiple IP addresses.
