The requirement is for 3x nadir-oriented, multi-spectral, step-stare wide-area search sensor payload designed to be mounted on a Cessna T206 HD aircraft. The sensor payload should include integrated RGB, NIR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR cameras providing a wide area field of view. It must autonomously generate geo-referenced image data using automated search patterns and customizable path-following capabilities to detect small fires without visible smoke across various fuel types. Additionally, the system needs to provide in-aircraft, autonomous fire mapping with image rectification and stitching, and the ability to export imagery and shapefiles in real time to ground personnel. The sensor payload must also have the capability to autonomously alert the operator in real-time upon detecting a hotspot or wildfire, providing geo-referenced coordinates immediately.
