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 zero-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.

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
