DORN Wildfire Readiness / Concept in development
Connect the view from the air with the work on the ground
Our readiness concept brings together aerial observation, team communication, logistics and special-mission aviation. The aim is to support preparation and coordinated response across the incident lifecycle.
Four areas of readiness
Considered together
Aviation
Fixed and rotary-wing platforms considered around observation and the needs of a response. Pigeon is our unmanned platform in development.
Explore PigeonCommunications
Information exchange between teams in the air, on the ground and in coordination roles.
Explore FC21Logistics
Consider the movement of people, equipment and resources as part of the readiness plan.
Special Missions
Rotary-wing aviation for firefighting, utility and rescue roles, with aircraft configurations assessed for the intended task.
Black Hawk platformsThe operating concept
From observation to a coordinated picture
DORN Wildfire Readiness considers the information path alongside the aircraft and ground resources. These stages describe the programme concept.
- 01
Observe
Build the aerial and ground picture of the area and the situation that needs attention.
- 02
Assess
Bring relevant observations into the same context so the people responsible can understand their significance.
- 03
Share
Connect those observations with the teams and coordination roles that need the information.
- 04
Coordinate
Relate the situation to the available aircraft, ground teams, equipment and support.
- 05
Review
Retain the lessons from the programme and use them to inform the next readiness cycle.
