abstract = {Every year forest fires cause severe financial losses in
many countries of the world. Additionally, lives of humans
as well as of countless animals are often lost. Due to
global warming, the problem of wildfires is getting out of
control; hence, the burning of thousands of hectares is
obviously increasing. Most important, therefore, is the
early detection of an emerging fire before its intensity
becomes too high. More than ever, a need for early warning
systems capable of detecting small fires from distances as
large as possible exists. A look to nature shows that
pyrophilous “fire beetles” of the genus Melanophila can
be regarded as natural airborne fire detection systems
because their larvae can only develop in the wood of
fire-killed trees. There is evidence that Melanophila
beetles can detect large fires from distances of more than
100 km by visual and infrared cues. In a biomimetic
approach, a concept has been developed to use the surveying
strategy of the “fire beetles” for the reliable
detection of a smoke plume of a fire from large distances by
means of a basal infrared emission zone. Future infrared
sensors necessary for this ability are also inspired by the
natural infrared receptors of Melanophila beetles.},
