IGNIS Fire Starting Drone
NCRP RFFC Demonstration Projects R1
Deferred/Unfunded
Our company, Humbots Data & Analysis would like to demonstrate the use of a fire starting drone that is capable of precisely dropping fire “ignition spheres' ' or ping ping balls that can start fires. We would like to use this to demonstrate in prescribed fire applications as well as wildland fire operations.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
To begin any project we will need a KMZ or KML file to determine our flight plan, ground control points, line of sight restrictions, and take off and landing zones. We then set up a date and time to go fly the site. Once we arrive on site, a team of three will begin setting up ground control points (GCPs). Once all the GCPs have been set up we go over our pre flight checklist. Once everything has been checked off, we fly. We have one person who is designated “pilot in command” (PIC) and is responsible for giving final authority as to the operation of the UAV. This person will hold a FAA 107 license to legally fly and abide by all FAA rules and regulations. A second person will be designated visual observer, whose main responsibilities are to always have eyes on the drone (FAA law).
