Docs: Angeles Intel. Mobile App
What It Is
Angeles Intel. (short for intelligence) is a new mobile app featuring a live incident feed from Angeles National Forest (ANF) dispatch, updated every 60 seconds. Stream Forest Net radio communications live, view incidents on a map, check nearby weather stations, and track aircraft with ADS-B - all without ads or a subscription. Agency personnel can verify with a .gov email for Admin Net access and the ability to manually refresh the incidents feed.

Project Roadmap
Upcoming Features are shown here. Some need research and/or development time and may be cancelled, so please voice your opinion if one of these is very important to you! Keep scrolling to see planned bug fixes:
• Description: Integration of RAWS data into incidents of type Wildfire
• Purpose: As usual, situational awareness
• Tech Effort: Low to Medium. Need approval from Synoptic Data for free plan (for non-profits), then implementation time
• Delivery Target: Mid-2026
• Description: Use AI/LLM to extrapolate details and correlate radio recording and transcription pairs with incidents shown in the app
• Purpose: Concentration/organization of information easy to digest with minimal tapping
• Tech Effort: Research and host a local LLM (Large Language Model aka "AI"). May need to upgrade Windows scanning machine
• Delivery Target: TBD
• Description: A continuously-updated visual feed of chronologically-ordered audio recordings and their speech-to-text counterparts, extracted from Forest Net and Admin Net
• Purpose: To help with situational awareness, especially for someone who has missed the radio 'roll out' call covering resources, communcation/radio plan, etc.
• Tech Effort: We are already capturing and uploading these recordings to AWS, so this is a natural next step and easy value-add
• Delivery Target: Mid-2026
• Description: Give authenticated users the ability to add and view notes to individual incidents and post broadcast messages on a central feed. The central feed will show both messages posted directly to it, and mention comments added to an incident. This phase of the feature would NOT be visible to non-authenticated users - we'll see see how it goes and consider creating a separate, siloed version for civilians
• Purpose: To encourage communication whether it be practical, entertaining, or both between responding or interested parties
• Tech Effort: Medium. As we're posturing this as a bulletin board rather than a live chat, expectations of immediacy should be low. Therefore we should be able to put the data into affordable AWS storage, perhaps even scribble into S3 objects
• Delivery Target: TBD
