Introducing a cloud-based Wildland Fire Incident Management System with satellite GPS tracking and emergency communications.

1. PROMETHEUS’ SHIELD™
Incident Management System
with Real-Time Satellite GPS Tracking
Built on the Esri ArcGIS Platform
Protecting the Lives of Firefighters on the Front Lines
Supported by the Iridium Satellite Network © 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending

2. The Challenge -
Develop a System that will provide a guaranteed Link
Between Firefighters and Incident Command
June 30th 2013

3. “The mission objective was relatively simple: Create a
communications link between the firefighter and incident
command that works anywhere on the planet, guaranteed.
Unfortunately, the mission plan proved to be a bit more complex.
We had to become experts at a technology that hadn’t been
developed yet!”
The Prometheus Shield Mission Statement
Bill King
CEO and Senior Design Engineer

4. A New Approach To And Old Problem
Since the first Roman fire brigades under Emperor Nero took the idea of organized firefighting from
Marcus Crassus to form the Vigiles in AD 60 and began to combat fires using bucket brigades and
pumps, firefighting has cost lives.

5. Introducing an Electronic ‘Accountability Tag’
Uses Secure HID Global iClass Proximity Cards
and Readers
Photo Identification–Replaces the Plastic
Accountability Tag
Contains IQCS Training and
Qualifications Data
Assign Permanent Prometheus’ Shield ID
Number & HawkEye PT+ Messaging ID

6. Personnel And Equipment Tracking
Utilizing military-grade satellite GPS tracking units, mobile
uplinks, and satellite phones to transmit GPS locations.
Incident Command display shows personnel locations in
relation to fire perimeter with 3D fly through of incident
area
Group or Individual location reporting. Variable report
intervals.
Geo Fencing for hazard areas, safety zones, entry/exit
notifications, ICP area, staging areas

7. The Incident Command Post Display Screen
Emergency Responder information and tracking unit operation is managed through SkyRouter and
the HawkEye PT+. Man Down feature, waypoints, pre-defined operational profiles
A large format computer from
is set up at the ICP. Position
reports are displayed on the
screen relative to the fire
perimeter. The touchscreen
monitor allows for annotations
to be made directly on the
screen. Division and group
assignments, escape routes,
safety zones, etc. are all
easily visible. Images can be
exported to the ICS 201
Incident Briefing form

8. Prometheus’ Shield is licensed to
order World-View 3 Short Wave
Infrared Imagery (SWIR)
satellite imaging using an
Emergency Task Order (ETO).
Prometheus Shield contracts FAA
and Forest Service approved
UAV operators to provide
perimeter mapping updates on
2-hour intervals. In addition,
UAV resources provide on-
demand fire behavior imaging.
Prometheus Shield is
programmed to accept
streaming video from multiple IP
addresses.
Aerial Imaging Resource Options

9. National Information Management System
All Incident Command System (ICS) forms have been converted
into web-based fillable forms that capture all incident data
All forms were created from the National Information
Management System (NIMS). Forms can be printed or stored for
electronic submission
Critical information displayed in datasheet form. All information
immediately available throughout incident website
All ICS data is archived for fire behavior an review Analysis
