Abstract: The pros and cons of currently popular supervision techniques for the forest fire are briefly summarized in this paper to demonstrate necessity and significance of a real- time high- resolution method. A system model based on a reconfigurable focusing lens, a millimeter radiometer, and a unmanned aircraft platform for the forest fire supervision is proposed. Detailed functionalities of key components are provided. The proposed platform can potentially offer real- time and high- resolution supervision for the forest fire.

Key words: forest fire, millimeter wave technology, passive millimeter wave supervision
