What Does CARP Stand For?
CARP stands for Computed Air Release Point
CARP, or Computed Air Release Point, refers to a calculated location in aerial firefighting operations where aircraft are instructed to release suppressants or water to optimize coverage and efficiency. This technology assists in determining the most effective dropout point based on variables such as terrain, wind conditions, and fire behavior, ultimately enhancing firefighting efforts and improving safety for ground personnel.
