New Technological Solution to Prevent Forest Fires: TÜBİTAK-Supported Flame Detection Project

Dr. Fuat Yetişsin from MAUN School of Technical Sciences (STS) has spearheaded a project supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK). The TÜBİTAK project, titled 'Development and Commercialization of Next-Generation Flame Detection System' and coded as 1507, has been granted support by project leaders Dr. Instructor Yetişsin and researcher Dr. Yalçın Kalkan.

Speaking about the project, Dr. Yetişsin stated: "The support of TÜBİTAK for this project is a great honor and responsibility for our team. Our aim is to contribute to the process of detecting forest fires, which have become a growing threat in recent years due to global warming, in a faster and more effective manner, and to commercialize this technology for the benefit of society. This innovation will be a crucial tool in controlling and rapidly responding to forest fires. The project aspires to make significant contributions to the world of science and environmental conservation."

Emphasizing the importance given to scientific research and innovation at the School of Technical Sciences, STS Director Dr. Fatih Şevgin stated the following about the project: "This project, prepared by our faculty member, aims to make significant contributions to the world of science and environmental conservation. We believe that the project, which will be supported by TÜBİTAK, will also serve as a source of inspiration for our staff, and we hope to celebrate similar successes together in the future. On this occasion, I congratulate our instructors Dr. Fuat Yetişsin and Dr. Yalçın Kalkan and wish them success in their endeavors.
