quote:

Boeing Wants to Patent a Fire-Fighting Howitzer Round

Dropping fire suppressant material out of planes and helicopters is still relatively inefficient, albeit safer and faster than relying on trucks and firefighters on the ground. Got a blaze stretching over 883 acres? It will take more than 34 hours to airdrop the necessary 360,000 gallons of fire suppressant, according to the National Wildfire Coordinating Group’s Incident Response Pocket Guide. “During the 34.3 hour time period, the relatively large 883 acre fire has potential to grow and burn an estimated 3,130 acres of land,” the application notes.

Instead, Boeing suggests, firefighters might get the job done faster by launching salvos of special 155mm shells from a dozen or more miles away. Packed with fire-suppressant material, the shells are fired from a field howitzer — perhaps BAE Systems M777 or one of the models from Swedish arms dealer Bofors. The shell releases its load over the fire thanks to “a device comprising a timer, an altimeter, an accelerometer, a global positioning device, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, or a distance measuring device.”

It's really getting to me how bleakly stupid this seems. Ride into battle over the squashed and mummified remains of your predecessors, flail around for a bit like a chicken sans head, die, get mashed into the pavement by your terrified ride. No end in sight. The only thing about this effort that isn't half-assed is the dying, that's for keeps.

If they make that fire suppressant 155 shell a reality I'd be at risk of doing something stupid like enlisting again. Then maybe starting forest fires to try it out on though if California is in play I wouldn't have to...
