System Modelling of TAK Technology as a Proposed Wildfire Mitigation Common Operating Picture
Due to climate change creating warmer and dryer conditions for active fires, wildfires in recent years have been increasingly devastating across the United States. Despite this, there is no one Common Operating Picture (COP) for wildfire mitigation, leaving local municipalities to rely on intuition, institutional knowledge, or out-of-date tools. While this may be functional, a standardized technology or system for fire mitigation would help all parties involved to efficiently learn and implement fire suppression methods based on real time evidence. We propose using Draper Laboratory's Team Awareness Kit (TAK) as a potential COP for wildfire mitigation. Our team has created a SYSML model of this technology through MagicDraw Cameo Systems Modeler, which showcases the relationships between the TAK system and the firefighters performing a fire suppression mission. The model additionally can edit and initialize various properties that need to be monitored throughout the mission, which can be a useful tool for planning and allocating resources for missions.
