Description:
Ikhana demonstrates capabilities of UAS to overfly and collect sensor data on widespread fires throughout Western US and also demonstrate long-endurance mission capabilities (20-hours+). Ikhana images multiple fires (greater than 4 fires per mission), to showcase extendable mission configuration and ability to either linger over key fires or station over disparate regional fires. Ikhana also demonstrates new UAV-compatible, autonomous sensor for improved thermal characterization of fires. Also it provides automated, on-board, terrain and geo-rectified sensor imagery over the horizon SATCOM links to national fire personnel and Incident commanders.
