The Tactical Fire Remote Sensing (TACFI-RS) is a passive airborne fire mapping system developed by Trident Sensing. It uses long-wave infrared (LWIR) cameras to map fires, determine fire location and intensity over time, and analyze fire behavior. TACFI-RS produces fire map products with a spatial resolution of 10 meters and a temporal resolution of 5 minutes. Its high temporal resolution makes it useful for critical wildfire management decisions.
