The scope of research is designing a new Aircraft for fire suppression, using a System of Systems oriented flight vehicle design approach. Applying the inverse Aircraft design paradigm by coupling a fire propagation model with a stochastic Multi-Agent Simulation of an evolved firefighting SoS. Thus obtaining a set of system-level Metrics of Performance for the design of Fire Suppression Aircraft.
