| Disasters: Hurricane Earthquake Flood Wildfire |
| Air Intel is your first response and enables you to Predict, Measure, Monitor, and Manage Events. Our mission is to provide information to the fire fighting agencies and other emergency responders on how to manage their response to the emergency. Specifically, the mission shall encompass the following activities: |
- Locate fire hotspots, determine the active fire front, and identify the already burned-out areas.
- Locate Hurricane and Tornado conditions first alert and early warning system
- Post Hurricane / Tornado rescue and assessment
- Emergency Response and Rescue
- Determine the intensity of the fire and its movement and rate of spread shall be measured to help predict the near-term fire behavior.
- Determine local weather and, more specifically, the vertical temperature profile over the fire.
- Measure the fuel moisture levels shall aid in this prediction
- Measure the air quality in the fire plume, including particulate levels, to aid in disaster-related evacuation decisions.

| Emergency Real-time Communication |
| Air Intel’s integrated mission options provides an Air Drone UAVTOL-based voice and RF communications relay between the field command and personnel fighting the fire or dealing with the natural disaster. Standard line-of-sight communication methods can be rendered inoperative during disaster events; such is the case with fire fighting, for example, with typically takes place in rugged and mountainous terrain. Such a capability will significantly enhance on-scene instructions and coordination of team activities. |

Wildfire – Fire Retardant Application
In recent years the US has seen the advent of Mega-Fires, driven by gradual increases in consumable fuels and the continued encroachment of civilization on our wilderness areas. These wildfires and other fire-related disasters are high-risk events for first responders and the public. Air Intel utilizes a specialized UAVTOL Air Drone, to replace the role served traditionally by piloted aircraft, for the airborne application of fire retardant. Additional risk reduction is provided by removing the pilot out of harm’s way in what is a highly dangerous flight environment. |

Wildfire / Disaster – Reducing Risk to Responders and the Public
Air Intel provides a low-altitude UAV’s to provide risk reduction to emergency responders and the general public by performing the following tasks: |
- Provide information for a rapid, local assessment of a situation by an on-scene responder.
- Provide accurate long-term information regarding the nature, location in the case of a tornado, fire, flood or earthquake and extent and spreading of a disaster event to aid the deployment of first responders, and to aid public safety agencies in their evacuation announcements, as necessary, to the general public.
|
These capabilities will significantly enhance safety and reduce risk by ensuring that the correct, accurate information is available to decision makers who are held responsible for responding to disastrous and catastrophic events.
Pre-and Post Disaster Monitoring & Assessment Air Intel Systems is a turnkey solution for keeping track of intelligence on a day to day, minute to minute record with backups of data-recording missions that are designed to provide non-real-time information to researchers for predictive purposes and to disaster authorities to provide post-event damage assessments. |
