Single Engine Air Attack Tanker (SEAT)

Bridger Aerospace is a certified Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) operator supporting the U.S. Department of the Interior in its aerial wildfire suppression efforts across the country. Bridger uses the AT-802 platform, a powerful aerial suppression aircraft with decades of firefighting history. The AT-802 provides an effective initial attack for battling wildfires. Its agility, reliability in performance and accuracy makes it an asset in firefighting operations, supporting firefighting crew on the ground and in the sky. The AT-802 offers fast transit times and climb rates for immediate wildfire suppression. Its compact size allows it to maneuver and operate in areas that are difficult to reach, providing a flexible solution for wildfire relief.

CL-415 Water Scooper

Bridger Aerospace is the inaugural customer for the launch of the CL-415 EAF platform, a next generation aerial wildfire suppression platform manufactured specifically for firefighting missions. The CL-415 is the only purpose built aerial firefighting aircraft in the world, offering unmatched performance, reliability and a supreme safety record. With a fleet of 5 CL-415 EAF Super Scoopers, Bridger is the only full spectrum aerial fire service provider in the country. The CL-415 EAF scoops large volumes of water at a time, allowing multiple and frequent water deployments over wildfires without the need to return to base. The platform combines water and foam to expand coverage over the fire, improve visibility of the drop area to the pilot, and increase moisture penetration to protect structures and vegetation. The CL-415 offers unrivalled wildfire suppression with a scoop time of 12 seconds and a water volume scoop of 1,439 US gallons (5,447 litres). Technology Solutions

The X-MADIS is a fully integrated counter UAS system that combines the most innovative components to offer a powerful fixed site & on- the-move (OTM) counter drone solution. The system includes four all-threat air surveillance radars, a high-performance optic and an electronic warfare system. These components are seamlessly integrated with intuitive command and control (C2) software, CUAS Suite, for streamline control of the entire kill chain.

Aerial Wildfire Management

A drone sighting can cause major disruptions. To prevent a crash between a drone and aircraft, firefighters are often forced to postpone the mission. These delays can cause significant devastation to an area affected by the fire. A counter drone system is necessary to prevent drones from invading this airspace, ensuring the crew can continue their mission undisrupted, saving the firefighters time, which can help save lives.

Bridger Aerospace is selected by the Department of the Interior to operate unmanned aircraft on a call-when-needed basis over active wildfires throughout the United States. This is the first and only UAV contract by the Bureau of Land Management or the United States Forest Service in support of active wildfire management.

UAVs are crucial for gathering real-time aerial intelligence in active fire zones that are too hazardous for manned aircraft to operate. Bridger operates revolutionary UAVs that are equipped with cutting edge sensor technology provided by Ascent Vision Technologies to provide critical data to the firefighting crew.
