Battling wildfires with PCADS, airdrop technology that requires no ✈️ modifications. The safest & most economical way to attack 🔥by ✈️ 💦🔥BringTheRain 🌧💦
@stuartpalley We have an Air National Guard C-130 approved firefighting system that can be dropped ON THE FIRE with hundreds of VLATS RIGHT NOW, but the ANG MAFFS systems only have 8 total in their arsenal of “surge capacity”. It’s time for new tactics and technology. @saintindustries
@Sandy_McKinnon @FireAviation Correct, maybe Bill can find the old files on the USFS attempting this in the 40s/50s?... They weren’t successful but with Congressional funds and about 10years of R&D we got er done with PCADS HALO. 500-5000ft AGL air drops that open at 200ft, no longer requiring dive bombs...
@FireAviation Also, if you look closely the middle bundle had a failure due to their velcro system and smokes into the ground... PCADS = Millions in R&D with US Military and 100% successful history, Guardian = Zero R&D... don’t accept inferior substitutes... #pcads
@FireAviation This isn’t PCADS we spent years and millions from Congress with USAF/Army Air Drop teams so that our system doesnt collide with the aircraft on ramp departure. For the record we’ve been successfully deploying water enhancers in Thailand since 2017. Gimme a ring for the real 411
@NorseIntel@IAFsite During R&D with the USAF PCADS was calculated at a Coverage Level (CL) based on United States Forest Service protocol of CL6-7 meaning 6-7 gallons/10sq ft area, this system pictured is NOT PCADS and received a rating of CL1 due to several factors.
@NorseIntel@IAFsite Over 60+ countries and private operators can deploy this tech with C-130 and other transport aircraft. PCADS has been successfully deployed from higher and safer altitudes than this for years with water enhancers vs retardant to direct attack vs suppress fires its a BTU battle.
@NorseIntel@IAFsite That’s not fire retardant it’s water, some bundles are dyed blue some are just water without dye. If you know these firefighting chemicals retardant would never float like water it’s alot heavier...
@InlandK9SAR@IAFsite@jetcitystar This is NOT PCADS our product doesn’t strike the aircraft on deployment like this tail strike and the mid bundle didn’t deploy and smokes into the ground if you watch the video. Never accept inferior substitutes for the real thing. #pcads#bringtherain
Only six of the eight MAFFS air tankers have been activated - https://t.co/Y83I6Z6nL9 #pcads time to try a wild ass idea...called PCADS HALO. Hundreds of C-130 around the US ready to air drop and direct attack NOT suppress Wildfires in multiship formations. @saintindustries
@KyleMizokami Kyle we saw your article about C-130/C-17 for bombing missions and wanted to connect about our Military Transport Wildfire Tech... PCADS is generic for all fixed wing and rotors including C-130, KC-390, C-17, V-22 and CH-47/53. No special missions crews or aircraft needed.
@Hilary_FranzCPL Hilary we have wildfire technology that’s approved for Air Guard use like MAFFS but with a lot more available aircraft. PCADS is the Safest-Cheapest-most Scalable aerial firefighting system in the world. Please DM me for info. @saintindustries@NGAUS1878@FoxNews@CNN@komonews
Smokey the bear says only you 👆🏻can do something to stop wildfires! Please help us increase awareness to get Congress to act about PCADS - a 2018 approved wildfire technology developed from a 2008 Congressional award alongside US Military R&D teams.
