MISSION-SPECIFIC SOFTWARE
Airview Fire Recon integrates advanced mission software to transform aerial imagery into real-time, actionable intelligence for firefighting and emergency response operations.
AUGMENTED REALITY
SYSTEMS(ARS)
Our preferred platform is the Shotover ARC mission system, powered by Augmented Reality System (ARS)—the world’s leading real-time airborne mapping solution.
Deployed on over 600 aircraft across six continents, ARS is widely used in aerial firefighting, law enforcement, and search and rescue, combining augmented reality overlays with 3D satellite and synthetic imagery.
REAL-TIME FIRE INTEL
& MAPPING
The ARC system provides highly accurate, real-time fire mapping directly from the aircraft, enabling crews to monitor, analyse, and communicate fire behaviour as it evolves.
Key capabilities include:
-
Rapid identification of new ignitions and emerging hotspots
-
Real-time fire perimeter mapping directly from live sensor feeds
-
Tracking fire size, spread, and rate of movement during active incidents
-
Instant export and transmission of GIS data in all standard formats
-
Seamless integration into existing incident control and ground-based workflows
This ensures incident commanders and ground crews are working from the same up-to-date operational picture.
INTUITIVE OPERATION &
NAVIGATION
Intuitive Operation & Navigation
-
Direct entry and navigation to coordinates in any coordinate system format
-
Touchscreen interface for fast in-flight data capture and updates
