Description
The Firefly is a concept for a new firefighting aerial platform, designed for the integration among the Italian Civil Protection fleet. It combines the functions of an advanced spotter aircraft with those of a Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (C3I) airborne post, for the tactical co-ordination of the water bombers and other aerial and land vehicles on site.
