Insitu ScanEagle UAS Helps Suppress Wildfires

Boeing Company的全资子公司Insitu，一直帮助消防员在美国俄勒冈州俄勒冈州的野火，通过其数据收集，分析和交付能力提供灭火活动的信息。由航空专业人士组成，Insitu的移动响应团队一直在运营其Scaneagle无人机系统（UAS），以补充载人航空消防队的战斗火灾。Scaneagle是一项许可和批准的UA，全面遵守FAA规定，并全部批准当地，州和联邦火灾当局。

无人机团队致力于火灾由一个供应商flight crew, as well as federal personnel who work together to meet the incident goals and objectives. The UAS manager (a federal employee) provides the required communication between air and ground resources to facilitate safe and effective missions, while the Data Specialist (also a federal employee) works directly with the vendor flight crew and incident GIS Specialist (GISS) to ensure timely development/delivery of requested data products.

扫描队团队“飞行差距”，意思是它们在夜间和浓度烟雾和反演条件下飞行，当载人飞机由于飞行员的危险条件而导致时，烟雾和反转条件。迄今为止的扫描团队在近30次航班期间记录了200多小时的夜间飞行时间。

The payload onboard the ScanEagle includes infrared sensors and electro-optical cameras that gather and disseminate geospatial imagery, and provide incident perimeter maps and full motion video. The sensors and cameras spot heat signatures, fire movement and fires, and provide a video feed of critical infrastructure, historical buildings and other structures that might be in danger, as well as identifying safe ingress and egress routes for fire fighters.

“最重要的是，我们的主要任务是帮助打击这些无情的火灾，帮助消防员，居民和社区安全，”Andrew Duggan，Insitu Incimport，Insitu Incimporty，Insitu Inciormany副总裁Andrew Duggan解释说。“飞越难以崎岖的地形的飞行UA的好处是减轻消防员在定位和灭火热点时物理地走它，”他继续。“通过夜间飞行的UAS，火灾事件指挥官具有显着的火力智能，并提高了他们清早计划会议的情况，在确定最有效和安全地派遣资源和人员的地方。”

All ScanEagle UAS flights have been coordinated with the Oregon Department of Forestry (ODF), the Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) and the Department of the Interior (DOI).
