CACI is providing electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensors,
which deliver data that can be analyzed faster and enable real-time
aerial heat-mapping technology, to support firefighting operations.
This mission technology also helps protect the lives of
firefighters, allowing them to focus on flying through dangerous
conditions while the EO/IR technology records data.
CACI’s CM142 multi-spectral gyro-stabilized imaging systems are
mounted on vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aircraft
systems (UAS) to provide real-time aerial mapping and surveillance
for frontline firefighting teams. Those mapping and surveillance
missions are managed by Bridger Aerospace. CACI’s long-wave
infrared (LWIR) core incorporated into the compact CM142 systems,
enable firefighters to monitor wildfires at night, a key capability
that helps identify when fires break containment, guides aerial
tanker drops, and triggers needed evacuations.
John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, said,
“As wildfires continue to threaten the lives of civilians and
firefighters in the American West, CACI has adapted mission
technology originally developed to protect American warfighters
overseas to protect our homeland. CACI recently acquired this
technology from Ascent Vision Technologies to deliver new UAS and
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities
to its customers, and is now also using them to provide agencies
and responders safer and more effective capabilities to track fires
in real-time, 24 hours a day, enabling them to save forests,
property, and lives.”
CACI’s approximately 23,000 talented employees are vigilant in
providing the unique expertise and distinctive technology that
address our customers’ greatest enterprise and mission challenges.
