Raven Uses Stratospheric Balloon Technology to Monitor Wildfires
In response to a growing need to protect natural resources, homes and lives during wildfire outbreaks, Raven Aerostar piloted a Thunderhead Balloon program in 2021 to monitor active U.S. wildfires. The stratospheric balloons performed station-seeking above active fires, collecting visible and thermal imagery data valuable for containment efforts.
