Abstract
Real-time wireless communications between permanent command centres, field command posts, and field resources such as field crews, helicopters and other mobile equipment are a necessity for most emergency management and coordination organizations worldwide. Space-based technologies such as satellite positioning systems, satellite communications systems and Earth observations systems have the potential to fill many of these needs. MacDonald Dettwiler's Real-time Emergency Management via Satellite (REMSAT) system addresses this gap by providing an integrated system that has now been used operationally in a forest fire fighting role over the past 2 years. This paper will provide the concept of operations, an overview of the initial REMSAT system, and the results of the field tests including recommendations for future systems.
