NSW Rural Fire Service needed a way to rapidly capture, process and distribute imagery from airborne assets, reducing delays caused by manual workflows and ensuring information was available when it was needed most.
Solution
Nova Systems partnered with NSW Rural Fire Service to develop the Airborne Intelligence Gathering (AIG) platform, an automated solution that transforms imagery captured from aircraft into actionable intelligence within minutes.
By removing manual processing steps, Nova created a streamlined workflow that automatically receives, analyses and publishes imagery for operational teams. The platform brings together data from aircraft, helicopters, satellites and drones into a single environment, giving emergency personnel fast access to critical information during bushfire events. Designed for future growth, the solution can readily support emerging sensor technologies and advanced analytics capabilities.
Outcome
The AIG platform significantly reduced the time required to access airborne intelligence, enabling operational staff to review critical imagery within minutes of capture. The solution enhanced situational awareness during bushfire events, improved decision-making, and established a scalable capability that continues to support the NSW Rural Fire Service's evolving operational needs.
