Insitu & Overwatch Imaging Collaborates For Wildfire Management

Bingen, Wash.-based Insitu, a subsidiary of The Boeing Co., has collaborated with Hood River, Ore.-based Overwatch Imaging. The motive behind the partnership is to integrate a customized TK-5 Firewatch smart tactical mapping payload from Overwatch onto Insitu’s ScanEagle unmanned aircraft system.

“Insitu is committed to supporting fire managers and emergency response coordinates by safely and efficiently providing time-critical information,” says Mark Bauman, Vice-President of Insitu Commercial for the Americas.

As per the companies, the Firewatch-equipped ScanEagle will be providing real-time fire line maps and wide-area, high-resolution imagery intelligence for wildfire management and other applications. Plus, the TK-5 payload will autonomously collect the images and analyze that imagery in real time on-board by using GPU-accelerated processors.
