WHY MAFFS
PROVEN PERFORMANCE
- MAFFS II Systems have been proven safe and effective during over two decades of real-world firefighting service
- 3,000 US Gallon Tank with variable discharge, ranging from full release in less than 4 seconds to hot spot clean up with multiple variable drops
- Controllable Pressurized Discharge meets all Current Coverage Levels (up to CL8) set by IAB and US Forest Service standards
- In-flight tank pressurization capability allows the system to not be tethered to ground compression
SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
- S- Duct placement on MAFFS II systems allows for clean delivery of payload without bathing the aircraft in corrosive fire retardant
- All openings remain secured and the aircraft remains pressurized during operations
- Because the system is pressurized and not gravity fed, multiple smaller precision drops are possible
MULTI MISSION CAPABILITY
- Firefighting – rapid attack and containment
- Chemical/Oil Spills – Corexit & AFFF foam compatible
- Nuclear/Radiological/Biological contamination – delivery of atomized isotopes
- Fumigation – Pest and Mosquito mitigation
- Agricultural Applications – anti-narcotics, vegetation control, and crop dusting
- MAFFS II allows cost conscious operators to add real aerial fire firefighting capabilities without having to purchase dedicated aircraft
- System is separate and distinct from the aircraft, so life cycle costs compared to aircraft maintenance are significantly less
- Without dedicated aircraft to maintain, maintenance and operating costs are drastically reduced
- A MAFFS system costs about as much as an annual Call When Needed contract for a comparable airtanker, but can be reused year after year for a variety of missions
AVAILABILITY
- Available for manufacture and delivery within a year allowing operators to respond quickly to worsening wildfire conditions and increased risk
- Robust supply chain built on years of service with multi-vendor support
