Command, Control, and Data Flow During SMART Operations

SMART monitoring of in-situ burning and dispersant application is designed to work within the Incident Command System (ICS).

SMART in ICS

In an in-situ burning operation, monitoring information flows from the monitoring teams to the Monitoring Group Supervisor. The supervisor forwards the information to the Scientific Support Coordinator (SSC), who makes recommendations based on the data, then forwards the recommendations to the Unified Command (UC). During dispersant applications, control and data flow are similar.
