The GB2 plays a vital role in the expanding SEAT industry by offering enhanced speed, maneuverability, and increased payload capacity. As highlighted in the 2020 Aerial Firefighting Use and Effectiveness (AFUE) Report published by the US Forest Service on aircraft effectiveness, SEATs are extensively successful for reducing fire intensity, slowing fire spread, point protection, and halting fire advancement. The GB2’s advanced features, including speeds over 20% faster than current SEATs and exceptional maneuverability, make it an indispensable asset in initial attack, large fire suppression, and extended attack scenarios, as indicated by the report. Its increased payload capacity further enhances its effectiveness in combating wildfires, providing firefighters with the necessary tools to respond swiftly and effectively to fire incidents.
