We’re really proud to share the news that Vexcel was recognized with a Government Innovation Award for our work within the GIC to provide aerial imagery in the wake of disasters in the most timely manner possible. Award categories include Public Sector Innovations, Industry Innovators, and Rising Stars. You can browse all of the winners here.
The center’s focus is on delivering imagery quickly to save lives in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. For example, after Hurricane Irma hit Florida in 2017, Vexcel flew its UltraCam Osprey camera over 506 square miles of the hurricane’s path. Information on an additional 13,787 miles was collected using Vexcel’s UltraCam Eagle. The imagery was processed and delivered to first responders and law enforcement within 24 hours.
