Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
1. General Objective
To design and evaluate a communications system embarked on a HAPS platform to support Fire
Brigade operations in wildfire suppression, combining forest fire monitoring functions with the
provision of communications coverage in rural or hard-to-access areas, as well as defining the
emergency plan and protocols for service activation.

2. Specific Objectives
' Analysis of the operational needs of the service in accordance with mission requirements:
response time, coverage range, number of simultaneous users, availability, and integration
with existing systems.
' Definition of the communications architecture embarked on the HAPS, including feeder and
user links, on-board processing systems, and the interface with the terrestrial network.
' Comparison of communication solutions: private 5G network vs. Agnet/TETRA.
' Technical and operational feasibility study, including:
' Development of an emergency plan and operational protocols, including:
' Assessment of the potential impact of the system on the efficiency and safety of firefighting
operations, through simulated scenarios and performance indicators related to coverage
improvement and response time.

3. Methodology and Planned Activities
' Collection and synthesis of technical and operational requirements (with support from Fire
Brigade contacts).
' Conceptual design of the communications system architecture and the associated
information flow.
' Technical simulations and calculations:
' Performance comparison between private 5G networks and Agnet/TETRA: equipment
requirements, interoperability, and latency.
' Design of the emergency plan and activation procedures, including prior configuration
decisions and authorization requirements.

4. Expected Results
' Preliminary technical design of the embarked communications system.
' Feasibility report including key parameters.
' Complete emergency plan with operational workflow
