TracPlus launches FireFlyte digital platform for aerial firefighting

The software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform is designed to offer real-time intelligence to ‎firefighting agencies, improving coordination, safety, and resource management.‎

FireFlyte features four modules:‎

• Aerial fire – which tracks fill rates, drop counts, volumes, and mission ‎performance
• Operations – which offers real-time flight monitoring, engine cycle tracking, ‎automated daily summaries, and fleet performance insights
• Safety and risk management – which enhances risk mitigation through real-‎time standard operating procedure (SOP) deviation alerts, ADS-B integration, and ‎‎3D terrain analysis‎
• Finance – which provides accurate cost tracking, downtime monitoring, and ‎financial insights.‎

The platform is cloud-based and hardware-agnostic, allowing it to integrate with existing ‎tracking systems, application programming interfaces (API), and data feeds.‎

‎“With wildfire seasons becoming extended and more severe, firefighting agencies need ‎real-time intelligence to improve coordination, enhance safety, and optimize resource ‎management,” said Todd O’Hara, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at TracPlus. “By ‎transforming their operational data into actionable insights, we enable teams to ‎respond more effectively and safely, unlocking better mission outcomes for their teams ‎and the communities they serve.”‎

TracPlus recently announced a partnership with special missions operator Avincis to ‎implement its solutions across a fleet of around 220 aircraft.‎
