Now there is a system that guarantees a connection between the
firefighter on the front line and incident Command.
Prometheus’ Shield™
Incident Management System for Wildland Fires
with Real-Time Satellite GPS Tracking
Built on the Esri ArcGIS Platform
Helping Prevent Another Yarnell Hill Tragedy
Supported by the Iridium Satellite Network
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
On June 30th 2013, 19 firefighters from
Prescott, Arizona perished while working
on the Yarnell Hill Fire.
Since that time, little has been done
to prevent it from happening again.
Until now…
The Challenge Behind the Project
“
”
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 little more
complex. We had to become experts at technology that hadn’t
been developed yet.

CEO and Senior Design Engineer
Our Mission Statement
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.
An Electronic Accountability Tag
Uses Secure HID Global iClass Proximity
Cards and Readers
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
Photo Identification–Replaces the Plastic
Accountability Tag
Coded with Vital Statistics and IQCS
Training and Qualifications Data
Assign Permanent Prometheus’ Shield ID
Number & HawkEye PT+ Messaging ID
Personnel and Equipment Tracking
Utilizing military-grade satellite GPS tracking units, mobile
uplinks, and satellite phones to transmit GPS locations.
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
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
Personnel and Equipment Tracking
Emergency Responder information and tracking unit operation is managed through SkyRouter and
the HawkEye PT+. Man Down feature, waypoints, pre-defined operational profiles
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
The Incident Command Post Display
A large format, touchscreen computer from
InFocus is set up at the ICP. Incident
information and position reports are all
displayed on the screen.
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
The Incident Action Plan
The ICP display is used to identify incident objectives, division/group assignments, support services,
known hazards, escape routes, safety zones, geo-fences, water resources, first aid, weather reports,
trigger points, containment lines, and other pertinent incident information.
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
Fire Management Planning
By importing SkyRouter’s GPS information into the GIS Fire Management Plan, Prometheus’ Shield
creates an application program interface (API) that displays positions relative to the fire perimeter that
can be configured to automatically alert Incident Command when a firefighter or other asset enters a
hazardous area or is in the danger of being overrun.
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
Aerial Imaging Resources
Prometheus’ Shield is licensed to purchase satellite
imaging using an Emergency Task Order (ETO).
World-View 3 Short Wave Infrared Imagery (SWIR)
will remove interference from cloud cover.
We are contracted with FAA and Forest Service
approved UAV operators to provide coordinated
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 nearly any IP address
anywhere.
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
National Information Management System
• All required 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. Forms can be printed or stored for electronic submission
• Critical information displayed in datasheet form. All information
immediately available throughout incident website
• Data used later for fire behavior analysis
© 2013-2016 Adventech Engineering, LLC | All rights reserved | Patent Pending
Fillable ICS Forms – With Data Storage
ICS 220 Air Operations Summary
With Prometheus’ Shield,
Incident Command can now
open a form, fill in the
information, and save. The
information is archived and
distributed throughout the
system automatically.
Reports can be printed or
stored for electronic
submission. Multiple
entries are stored and
displayed chronologically.
