A drone-based aerial ignition system that ignites backburns to contain wildfires to better manage land and reduce the risk of wildfires. The IGNIS system attaches to a drone and is equipped with a thermal and visual camera. Firefighters can import the latest reconnaissance data from the fire into our ignition flight app to plan ignition missions and update them according to fire behavior. IGNIS uses small “ping-pong” ball ignition spheres filled with a chemical, drops them and they’re ignited 30-60 seconds later to precisely ignite the fireline used to contain fires.

Steel is vital to the development and maintenance of America’s infrastructure. Nucor Vulcraft Nebraska produces steel joists, mainly used as structural support in floors and ceilings. Nucor takes recycled steel, which is melted at about 3000 °F and then it is cast and rolled to make angle iron. The angle iron is then cut, assembled/welded together by hand, and painted. About 150,000 joists/year are shipped to be used for schools, medical facilities, data centers, gymnasiums, and more.

Our RAT Hub is at the heart of an aircraft’s emergency power system. In fact, RATs have saved over 2,400 lives over the past five decades. If an airplane lost power, the RAT would deploy from the airplane’s wing or fuselage and rotate to extract sufficient power from the airstream to control and land the aircraft. RATs are designed to be small and have a self-governing device that limits the turbine’s speed. Collins Aerospace designs and manufactures hydraulic, electric and hybrid RATs.
