Program Consultation & Development

Program Consultation

Building an effective aerial intelligence program requires more than equipment — it requires the right strategy, the right structure, and the right expertise.

MCI advises agencies on designing and optimizing aerial intelligence programs that are tailored to their specific operational environment, resource base, and mission requirements.

Our consultation services draw directly from the field experience of our Mission Commander staff — professionals who have operated at the highest levels of aerial incident management in California.

We bring that experience to your program, helping you avoid costly missteps and build capabilities that perform when conditions are at their most demanding.

• Program design and operational strategy
• Interagency integration and mutual aid alignment
• Operational workflow assessment and optimization
• Technology selection and remote sensing guidance
• ICS integration and coordination framework development

Custom Program Development

Every agency is different when it comes to geography, resources, and mission priorities.

MCI develops fully customized aerial intelligence programs built from the ground up to match your agency's scale, capabilities, and objectives. Our structured five-phase process carries your program from concept to full deployment with MCI expertise involved at every step.

• Assessment: We examine your current capabilities, operational environment, resource base, and gaps so we have a clear picture of where development needs to begin.
• Design: We develop a program framework built around what your mission actually requires, including operational structure, technology selection, staffing, and interagency coordination.
• Implementation: We support the infrastructure build-out from equipment guidance and systems integration through to workflow and ICS alignment.
• Training: We deliver expert-led training that gives your personnel the skills and knowledge to run the program well in actual field conditions.
• Deployment: We provide hands-on support through your first operational deployments to make sure the program launches with confidence and performs from day one.
