A Fire Alarm From Space
PROJECT HALO FOUNDATION, a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, represents an innovative strategy designed to detect fires at inception and swiftly communicate their near location (latitude/longitude) directly to local individuals, and closest first responders quickly. One primary objective of this initiative is to identify and promptly report small fires to closest first responder to prevent them from escalating into large, destructive wildfires. We understand this can be a challenge in very remote locations and is not always achievable. The location information will alert closest local individuals/governments to preserve life and property. This is achieved by deploying a dedicated single satellite designed specifically for fire detection into geostationary orbit (GEO) at a distance of 22,300 miles above the Earth.
With just a single PROJECT HALO satellite, we can save $20-200+ billion dollars of the planet's environment/property each year! Discover more!
Continuously Watching for Fires
By deploying this single small satellite in geostationary orbit (GEO), we can continuously monitor the Earth's surface, detecting temperature changes. This satellite will maintain a constant focus, capturing data six times per second, 24/7, 365 days a year, searching, waiting, watching for fires to start. As an example, covering two-thirds of the United States simultaneously, our satellite will vigilantly observe and detect fires using temperature and radiance measurements with proven, off-the-shelf technology. PROJECT HALO will serve as a space-based fire alarm system, providing early fire detection and sending alerts to those in harm's way.
- PROJECT HALO will observe, wait, watch to see fires 6 times a second, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
- We can observe two-thirds of the U.S. simultaneously, continuously monitoring for fires.
- Our satellite will diligently monitor and detect fires using established, off-the-shelf technology.
Let us show you how PROJECT HALO can save $1billion+ per year of the environment/property each year!
The Goal of PROJECT HALO is to relay a fire's exact location within 30 seconds!
PROJECT HALO acts as a space-based "Fire Alarm," detecting fires when they are small and swiftly relaying their location (latitude/longitude) to nearby first responders. This proactive approach aims to prevent small fires from escalating into larger wildfires across public, private, and tribal lands.
Our goal is to relay a fire's location to first responders within 30 seconds and provide continuous monitoring upon request.
Using a single PROJECT HALO satellite in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO), we can surveil approximately 2/3 of the United States, enabling round-the-clock monitoring for fire outbreaks.
This capability was successfully demonstrated through the Commercially Hosted InfraRed Payload (CHIRP) experiment, where fire locations were promptly communicated to first responders, resulting in initial identification of 13 out of 14 reported incidents.
We Have Done This Before
PROJECT HALO aims to build on the success of the CHIRP Program by launching a small, independent satellite into GEO orbit. This satellite will detect and report fire initiations directly to the closest first responders with minimal delay. Rather than seeking government funding, we plan to partner with philanthropic foundations to achieve this goal within 30 months.
With just one satellite focused solely on fire detection, PROJECT HALO will significantly reduce risks to first responders' individuals/local governments in an effort to mitigate wildfire devastation, and decrease carbon emissions and air pollution. As a non-government entity, we can share our data freely with anyone at any time.
Current philanthropic efforts to address fire issues are commendable but less efficient than PROJECT HALO. They rely on hundreds of satellites and complex data transfer and reporting systems. By the time they are ready to demonstrate a limited capability, PROJECT HALO can already be operational, actively saving lives and protecting the environment. We invite these foundations to join our initiative and enhance their impact. Reach out to us today!
PROJECT HALO Proven Success
PROJECT HALO will build on the success of the Commercially Hosted InfraRed Payload (CHIRP) Program, which identified the locations of fires while they were still small. Our founding team has over 100 years of direct experience, including the lead engineers on the CHIRP program. The US government spent upwards of at $200M to develop the successful CHIRP capability.
This was proven in 2013, when the U.S. Forest Service collaborated with the Department of Defense to showcase the effectiveness of the CHIRP sensor in detecting small, remote fires in California. Over the course of a week, 14 fires broke out. CHIRP successfully detected all of them, and in 13 out of 14 instances, it did so before other detection systems.*
