Lockheed Martin Performs Unmanned Aerial Firefighting at Griffiss

Lockheed Martin demonstrated its ability to integrate unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations into the National Airspace System using its prototype UAS Traffic Management (UTM) capabilities at Griffiss International Airport on November 18, 2015. During the demonstration the Stalker XE UAS provided data and a precise geolocation to the unmanned K-MAX cargo helicopter, which conducted water drops to extinguish a fire, while the UTM tracked the UAS operations and communicated with Air Traffic Control in real time. The Stalker XE UAS worked in tandem with K-MAX to identify hot spots and fire intensity with its electro-optical, infrared camera. Its stable, high definition imaging capabilities enable day and night operations. This the second time Lockheed has tested their ability to aid in aerial firefighting operations at the New York UAS Test Site managed by the NUAIR Alliance.
