The application of Earth observation to early remote detection of wildfires typically offers two key approaches. Observers can attempt to identify chemical absorption bands of interest that can be indicative as precursors to wildfire, or they can use of thermal imaging to look for hot spots in longwave infrared bands.

Satellite optical filter specifications generally are limited by system design. Tradeoffs must be considered: when one spec is improved, another may suffer. Maximizing performance in one area may “design out” overall system capability. A system will not work as expected if it is not properly characterized.

Space is the new technological frontier, and constellations of satellites designed for earth observation and satellite communications are gathering data at unprecedented rates. These next-generation satellites require next-generation technology, including advanced spectral filters that separate optical signals from background noise.
