ABSTRACT:
A fire retardant delivery system for delivering fire retardant onto a fire. The system 10 includes an aircraft comprises a fire retardant storage and ejection system, and a stabilized three axis gimbal system for providing signals indicative of angle and angle rates of a gimbal with respect to an axis of the aircraft. An infrared sensor system is disposed on stabilized three axis gimbal system. A display is coupled to infrared sensor system for displaying an image produced thereby to a pilot of the aircraft. Aircraft sensors are provide signals indicative of the velocity, altitude, and dive angle of the aircraft. A computer is coupled to the infrared sensor system, to the aircraft sensors, and to the fire retardant storage and ejection system, for computing distance between the aircraft and a hot spot in the fire and for computing an optimal release point for ejecting fire retardant from the aircraft onto the fire.
