Fire Drone - From Operational Requirements to a Technical Reference Framework for Civil Protection Drones

As part of the FIRE DRONE project, the Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Crisis Management set up a working group made up of experts from the national land-based resources group (GMNT), the mine clearance response group (GID), the airborne resources group (GMA) and more than 20 fire departments from 7 defence and security zones in mainland France.  This working group has defined and developed scenarios for use that will be test in the New Aquitaine region.  The aim is to validate the specifications of the technical reference framework, particularly in terms of the added value of the integration and mass processing of the data captured by the drones.
