SoS Firefighting System

There is often a lot of confusion in identifying exactly what we do. It is not uncommon to be considered by potential customers, institutions and industry as a potential “replacement” of the current Canadair CL415 amphibious firefighting aircraft. Nothing could be more wrong! Since 2011 we have been developing for firefighters and civil protection personnel, an integrated system that does not exist on the market; therefore, it does not replace what exists today.

Our staff has developed more than 200 combined aeronautical projects and has acquired specific skills in the sector, having already developed complex projects in the field of aviation and the development of integrated systems (some specific in the field of aircraft firefighting).

The choice is not between one aircraft or another, but between different ways of conceiving aircraft firefighting, which therefore requires the development of a dedicated aircraft. We have developed this video to better clarify the ambitious objectives pursued for over 12 years. Enjoy!
