- Abstract
Two billion dollars are spent annually in the U.S. combatting wildfires. USAF Aircraft are converted into Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System air tankers. Law requires the U.S. Forest Service to track expenses related to firefighting and reimburse the Defense Department. The current process requires flight crews to record information on a manual Drop Log form. A computerized system was developed using Agile concepts in both pedagogy and systems development. State-of-the-art cloud infrastructures were used to implement a free, proof-of-concept digital Drop-Log on Azure Cloud using a MySQL database. Innovative, Agile pedagogical and development processes produced a working prototype in two months.
