Introduction. The relevance of this study is determined by the increasing need to ensure reliable protection of steppe and agricultural territories from possible fires with the help of innovative monitoring methods, the use of fire equipment, fire water supply systems and modern fire extinguishing means. Despite the introduction of new, modern and safe for the environment and people technical solutions aimed at preventing and extinguishing fires, there is still a need to improve the technologies used in the field of fire safety, which is a serious problem for the country. The work objective is to assess the technical feasibility of effective application of geo-positioning technologies and monitoring based on a set of special devices, model calculation of conditions for reliable fire blocking on steppe and agricultural territories, in particular, in fields with grain areas. Materials and Methods. The main research methods are the analysis of sources of normative-methodological and scientific-technical information, mathematical modeling, extrapolation to computational and graphic materials, physical experiment. Results. The data are presented for the development and implementation in the practical activities of fire departments of new technical solutions and technologies for monitoring and extinguishing steppe fires and fires in grain areas, the creation and development of material, technical, methodological and information base for the system of blocking geoecological fires. Discussion and Conclusion. The analysis of the causes of fires in steppe and agricultural territories allowed us to outline the main methods of their monitoring. Based on the study of prototypes, changes in the technical and layout characteristics of the main elements, a rational solution (know-how) for extinguishing fires in steppe and grain areas is proposed — a tractor-soil-thrower-fire-break maker. At the same time, it is concluded that it is also possible to increase the efficiency of multifunctional tracked or wheeled robotic complexes due to elements of navigation systems (geo-positioning) and monitoring using automatic process control systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
