PCADS™ HALO is the ONLY Aerial Firefighting System currently available that can deliver impressive coverage levels, on target every time, at altitudes from 350-5000ft Above Ground Level (AGL). NO airtankers in existence can deploy like PCADS™ HALO, making it the SAFEST, most PRECISE and scalable Aerial Firefighting tool.
Please see OUR STORY for more information about PCADS™ history
PCADS™ Advantages over all other Aerial Firefighting Systems
Traditional aerial firefighting aircraft are state/federally owned & contracted (CWN/EU) former commercial airliners or repurposed war birds like C-130s, operated by private companies or when non are available, MAFFS from the Air National Guard activate. Conversions for these older aircraft like C-130s have significant costs involved such as AMP upgrades that cost up to $14M+ to modernize the avionics, engines, cockpit glass and for structural upgrades to the wings and other systems. Per aircraft it takes thousands of hours of labor, tanking system cost for RADS/MAFFS cost $3M-$5.5M and MAFFS have a life cycle of only 2 years of operations before needing replacement.
All of this initial startup cost, plus additional air support required for airtanker operations such as lead/spotter planes, and large mobilized ground teams of 85+ personnel (per squad) makes PCADS™ substantially more affordable to startup a new operation and on an ongoing cost basis.
Operational & Tactical Advantage: Both private & ANG operated MAFFS/RADS operations provide fire suppression ONLY. PCADS™ HALO, gives you the needed tool for Direct Attack, Suppression & SAR Missions for emergency evacuation with no modifications to the aircraft, during the same sortie. Other aircraft might be multi mission capable, but NOT during the same sortie like PCADS™.
PCADS™
...can fly 24/7, deploy safely at high or low altitudes & during high wind & high heat events, MAFFS/RADS cannot due to wind restrictions related to their low altitude deployment requirement and spotter plane red flag grounding..
... deployed to "BRING THE RAIN" at 150-5000ft AGL, regardless of drop altitude, using our patented HALO and IVR systems.
...do not require unsafe dive bombing into drop zones.
...are rapidly deployable & fully operational within a short time frame.
...requires minimal ground crew
COMPATIBLE AIRFRAMES
PCADS™ Capacity & Volumes Delivered Per Drop
PCADS™ vs LARGE AIR TANKER VOLUMES - MAFFS (I/II)
In an Apples to Apples comparison using C-130J aircraft, a PCADS™ sortie delivers 37.5% MORE than the latest RADS system (4000 USG) and over DOUBLE current MAFFS operations (2700 USG).
