TracPlus is the approved tracking provider for all aerial firefighting operations in Australia, and we work closely with the National Aerial Firefighting Centre to ensure all operators are tracked, monitored and able to communicate with everyone involved.
In Australia, TracPlus is also used in air rescue, tourism, agricultural operations, mining and coastguard to name a few. Countless operators trust TracPlus to track their lone workers, maritime fleets, planes, and track helicopters in Australia.
TracPlus is the approved tracking provider for NAFC, which is a collective of states and territories that work together to share knowledge and specialised firefighting resources. TracPlus provides NAFC with data integration services for tracking and event reporting.
All the aircraft involved in aerial across Australia are equipped with standardised tracking and event reporting equipment, which reports into TracPlus — and TracPlus then makes this consolidated data available in a number of different ways to all operators involved.
“TracPlus has changed the reporting of intelligence completely. It registers the exact location of where we pick up water, and how many litres we’re picking up. It’s tracking us to and from the fire. That way, the command centre can see how effective we are as it determines what our turn around times are.” Ray Cronin, Kestrel Aviation.
TracPlus is the trusted tracking provider for all major air medical operators in Australia including LifeFlight and Careflight. TracPlus allows air medical operators to track, manage and monitor their fleet to obtain complete fleet situational awareness throughout rescue missions and interhospital transfers.
TracPlus allows agricultural operators to not only stay connected to their crews but to monitor activity for contractual and billing purposes. With TracPlus, agricultural operators can capture and transmit data in real-time, including engine start/stop, aircraft tracking data, take-off and landing, making accurate data recording easy and automatic.
