Insitu & Overwatch Imaging Collaborates For Wildfire Management



Bingen, Wash.-based Insitu, a subsidiary of The Boeing Co., has collaborated with Hood River, Ore.-based Overwatch Imaging. The motive behind the partnership is to integrate a customized TK-5 Firewatch smart tactical mapping payload from Overwatch onto Insitu’s ScanEagle unmanned aircraft system.

“Insitu is committed to supporting fire managers and emergency response coordinates by safely and efficiently providing time-critical information,” says Mark Bauman, Vice-President of Insitu Commercial for the Americas.

As per the companies, the Firewatch-equipped ScanEagle will be providing real-time fire line maps and wide-area, high-resolution imagery intelligence for wildfire management and other applications. Plus, the TK-5 payload will autonomously collect the images and analyze that imagery in real time on-board by using GPU-accelerated processors.

This will greatly help in assessing wildfires in forest and mountains. A clearer view of the wildfire is really helpful in responding and providing emergency response when needed.
It can be a substitution for helicopter that washing out all the burst of a wildfire. By the time that one of the Island in my province took by a tremendous wildfire, my neighbourhoods and I was shocked and fear because the fire spreads like a heartbeat. At the same time, we are disappointed on how does the Bureau of Fire Protection responsed to the catastrophe. They had long weeks before the fire gone. Lots of family houses, farms and lands collapsed by that event and it was a nightmare to us.
My country have 7100+ islands and we need a drone that can assists the removal of fire in a wildlife because we have thousands of forest and disasters like wildfire may occur anytime.
