The VC-35 System as a Solution

The VC-35G’s Vision Changes Outcomes

  • First Eyes on Site

    Up early to pinpoint the flames before they scale. The VC-35G establishes an overhead anchor above the fire line, feeding the command center live data without risking a crewed flight in the turbulent heat.

  • Owning the Nightshift

    When twilight hits and heavy smoke grounds crewed aviation, the VC-35G keeps watch. With its tactical eye through low-visibility conditions, it secures the exact hours when suppressing the fire works best.

ENGINEERED TO WALK THE FIRELINE

  • Actionable Intelligence

    Thermal mapping of hotspots, perimeter, and spread fed straight to the people deciding where to commit crews and where to pull them back.

  • Reading the Dynamics

    Track the fire's pulse in real time. Continuous thermal mapping exposes hidden hotspots and shifting perimeters, feeding instant data directly to your command post to deploy ground crews with absolute confidence.

  • SCOUT

    Launches on the first alarm to secure the high ground. Visual and thermal feeds deliver an unobstructed read on the scale and spread for commanders.

  • ANCHOR

    Locks in on a focus point as the central eye, allowing commanders to orchestrate multiple moving assets from one unified live stream.

  • GUIDE

    Streams critical updates and boundary dynamics straight to the frontline, showing crews exactly where to advance and when to evacuate.

  • ENDURE

    Keeps the feed alive through thick smoke and total darkness, maintaining complete operational command while manned air-support is grounded.
