UAV Integration
RAM Tracker gets integrated with Insitu Group's Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle, ScanEagle, to demonstrate a new method of aerial mapping of wildland
fires at Fort Hunter Ligget in central California.
June 2006 --
In partnership with Evergreen Aviation and Insitu Group, RAM Systems has once
again helped to achieve a new milestone in the aerial mapping of wildland fires
in the USA.

Together, and in
cooperation with two other UAV vendors, the partners were very successful in
showing the effectiveness of using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for
monitoring and mapping wildland fires. We are very excited about the
potential in this new method, as it can really enhance and extend our
current abilities to provide the best possible service and support to the
fire fighters out on the line. We also see this as a way to incorporate
our system into many other areas of aerial mapping. Below are some
samples of the maps and snapshots from the video we collected at this
demonstration.
Day 1 Flight (Day Ops) (5 MB
file)-Map
produced from the first days flight, flown at approx. 1:00pm.
Day 2 Flight (Night Ops) (5 MB file)-Map produced
from the second days flight, flown at approx. 9:30pm.

| Monitoring ignition of control burn on Day 2. |
Progression of burn after approx. 1 minute with the assistance of
continued ignition. |
 |
 |
| Progression of burn after approx. 3 minute with the
assistance of continued ignition. |
Progression of burn after approx. 4 minute with the assistance of
continued ignition. |

After about 20 minutes of allowing the fire to grow, we established
the current perimeter for that period of time. This was the data
set used to produce the map for Day 2. |
