Abstract This Chapter presents the application of a multi-UAV system to forest fires. Particularly the experiments carried out with the COMETS system will be presented. After the introduction and motivation, the UAVs, sensors and basic methods are presented. The third section deals with the general description of the fire detection, localization and monitoring. The next sections are devoted to the multi-UAV surveillance and fire alarm detection, fire observation and monitoring, and cooperative fire monitoring. These sections include short summaries of experiments carried out in the Lousã airfield and the Serra de Gestosa, near Coimbra (Portugal).
