This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II aims to prove the feasibility of creating a web-based mapping and visualization application for end-users in wildland fire management communities as an extension to the results of the Phase I work. By partnering with strategic vendors, the project will expand our current application to offer not only advanced remote-sensing data products and customized reports, but on-site, real-time weather data, GPS tracking, and full data transfer and communications networks (including audio and video). The project aims to ultimately provide end-users access to a complete team of expert analysts and engineers to gather, merge, and analyze fire-related data products through satellite communications networking. Our experts will then consolidate and simplify all the available data into custom, real-time data reports with geospatial context and delivery it to end-users to expedite high-level decision making, which can save valuable assets and lives. The platform will be amenable to the networking, visualization and analysis of a great number of issues in not only the natural resources realm, but also homeland security, disaster relief, global monitoring, and hazard mitigation.The ability to quickly and efficiently collect, analyze, and share geospatial data (in particular, time-sensitive environmental data) across the World Wide Web is the cornerstone value proposition for this product. These combined abilities provide a critical and as-yet-unavailable tool for the fire management community. The project has both economic and humanistic benefits in that confinement strategies decided-on and applied during the early stages of fires can significantly reduce the cost of fire suppression by several millions of dollars. This increased information will also allow decisions to be made that keep firefighters as safe as possible. Additionally the project will offer advanced data products in formats designed specifically to address the aspects that influence these decisions. The combination of the hub solution and web browser interface as a flexible architecture, is based on open standards and therefore is agile, dynamically configurable, and interoperable holding significant value for applications such as natural disasters, pandemics, or homeland security. The overlay and visualization of that data will provide analyses of critical importance for decision and policy makers, as well as regular citizens, all seeking the best geospatial information possible and in a form they can use.

小企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段旨在证明为荒地火灾管理社区的最终用户创建基于网络的地图和可视化应用程序的可行性，作为第一阶段工作成果的扩展。通过与战略供应商合作，该项目将扩大我们目前的应用，不仅提供先进的遥感数据产品和定制报告，还提供现场实时天气数据、GPS跟踪以及完整的数据传输和通信网络（包括音频和视频）。该项目旨在最终为最终用户提供一个完整的专家分析师和工程师团队，通过卫星通信网络收集、合并和分析与火灾相关的数据产品。然后，我们的专家将整合和简化所有可用数据，并将其整合为具有地理空间背景的自定义实时数据报告，并将其交付给最终用户，以加快高层决策，从而挽救宝贵的资产和生命。该平台不仅适用于自然资源领域，还适用于国土安全、救灾、全球监测和减灾等领域的大量问题的联网、可视化和分析。在万维网上快速有效地收集、分析和共享地理空间数据（特别是时间敏感的环境数据）的能力是该产品的基础价值主张。这些综合能力为消防管理社区提供了一个关键的和尚未获得的工具。该项目具有经济和人文效益，因为在火灾早期阶段决定和应用的限制策略可以显着降低数百万美元的灭火成本。这些增加的信息也将使决策，使消防队员尽可能安全。此外，该项目还将提供专门针对影响这些决策的方面而设计的格式的高级数据产品。集线器解决方案和Web浏览器界面的组合作为一个灵活的架构，基于开放标准，因此是敏捷的，可动态配置的，可互操作的，为自然灾害，流行病或国土安全等应用提供了重要价值。这些数据的叠加和可视化将为决策者和政策制定者以及普通公民提供至关重要的分析，所有人都在寻求尽可能最好的地理空间信息，并以他们可以使用的形式。
