The FireIce^® Onboard Injection System (FOIS) was custom designed and built by Trotter Controls^®, the leader in fire gate and controller systems for airtankers, including the factory Air Tractor gates. The FOIS is designed specifically for AT-802 and FireBoss^® aircraft, designed to automatically mix FireIce^® MTR dry concentrates while in flight. Designed from the ground up to be the most effective, safest, and most reliable injection system available for AT-802 aircraft platforms.

FOIS Benefits

• Onboard system enables in-air mixing of FireIce^® slurry
• Maximizes flight time by reducing the need to return to base for FireIce^® gel loads after each drop
• Maximizes the effectiveness of an AT-802/ FireBoss
• Computer controlled mixing with user selectable ratios
• Optimize the material for the fire conditions
• Simple ground loading equipment employed, great for remote locations and temporary tanker bases
• Aircraft continues to operate on fires even if mixing system is INOP or turned OFF

FOIS Features

• Onboard mixing of up to 3,000 gallons of FireIce^® before returning to base
• Gel can be re-wetted to maximize in-air time
• Air driven water pump is already approved equipment for the Fire Boss^® / Air Tractor^®
• Incorporates ram-air into existing venting system
• Vacuum transfer system uses common shop-vacuum
• Uses adapter assembly for simple, minimally intrusive installation
• Trotter Controls^® DataVault-based controller, records quantity, material, and ratio of FireIce delivered
• In-cockpit display of system vitals
• Pilot selectable mix ratio
• Logging of system parameters
• Minimal ground support needed
