Abstract: Wildfire is the array and instrument controller currently used in the infra-red instrumentation at National Optical Astronomy Observatories. Wildfire is a high performance, versatile transputer based controller which handles the clocking and readout of two-dimensional arrays along with all other aspects of instrument control. The system was originally designed to support the present generation of 256 $MUL 256 infra-red arrays. This paper discusses the upgrade plan for Wildfire which is required to read out the newly developed 1 K $MUL 1 K InSb arrays. !5
