How persistent surveillance eVTOLs provide continuous night-and-day fire line intelligence to incident commanders.
Massive wildfires generate dense smoke blankets that completely blind satellite imagery and conventional aircraft cameras, leaving firefighters uncertain of rapid wind-driven fire runs.
At 3 to 5 micron wavelengths, mid-wave infrared radiation easily penetrates thick smoke particles. EvtolSurveillance maps hot spots and active flaming fronts with sub-meter resolution, generating live georeferenced fire perimeter maps for incident command centers.
Operating above the smoke deck, the surveillance aircraft relays real-time fire line coordinates directly to heavy air tanker pilots, guiding retardant drops with surgical precision.
