    Mark "Shep" Szypula, a Leidos contractor and sensor operator assigned to the Army Geospatial Center's BuckEye program, checks the aircraft's array of camera and LIDAR sensors, Feb. 2, 2025, at Burbank Airport in Los Angeles County.

    Their crew is deployed here under contract with AGC, 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 sensors 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.
