Description: PROMETEO is the biggest applied research project awarded to a corporate consortium in Spain, concerning the fight against forest fires. This project aims at safeguarding the conservation of our forests, optimizing the public administrations’ resources allocated for this purpose, by means of the development of new technologies that would allow us to minimize the forest fire hazard and mitigate the environmental damage in case of fire. Our group is responsible for the development of a wireless sensor network, to be deployed in high risk environments, with the objective of preventing and eventually helping in the extinction of forest fires.
