    Their crew is deployed here to collect high-resolution aerial imagery and geospatial data in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' debris removal mission, following the devastating Jan. 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. They are operating a specially modified Beechcraft Super King Air 350, equipped with a “BuckEye” sensor system capable of highly detailed scans over vast areas.

    As recovery moves forward, USACE continues deploying a wide array of cutting-edge capabilities to support the mission – expected to become the most massive debris cleanup in the Corps’ nearly 250-year history.
