AEVEX Corp. has delivered a $12.3 million DHC-6-300 Twin Otter aircraft to the Oregon Department of Forestry ahead of the 2026 fire season. The multi-mission aircraft features advanced sensing, mapping and mission-system technologies for wildfire detection, situational awareness and all-hazard response. The platform enables day and night operations to identify fire starts, monitor evolving conditions and deliver intelligence to firefighters and decision-makers. AEVEX will complete final mission-system tailoring and training with ODF personnel before the aircraft is prepositioned centrally for rapid access to high-risk areas. The delivery leverages AEVEX's experience in designing and integrating aerial intelligence aircraft for federal, state and international clients. The Twin Otter's durability provides flexibility for sensor, cargo and passenger operations that can adapt to ODF's evolving mission requirements.
