Bridger Aerospace and TracPlus link platforms for wildfire operations

Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings (NASDAQ: BAER, BAERW) has announced a partnership with TracPlus to integrate TracPlus's aviation data into Bridger's IGNIS software platform, according to a press release issued July 20, 2026.

The integration is designed to give wildland firefighters, aviation teams, and incident managers a single view of aerial suppression activity, including real-time aircraft positions, aviation intelligence, and drop event data.

TracPlus, which has operated for more than 18 years, serves over 700 customers in more than 40 countries, including CAL FIRE, NSW Rural Fire Service, and Australia's National Aerial Firefighting Centre. The platform manages around 2,500 wildfire suppression aircraft and processes more than 800,000 flight hours of data annually.

Sam Davis, CEO of Bridger Aerospace, said the combined solution is expected to "enhance tangible situational awareness for our own aerial firefighting operations as well as incident management teams across the nation."

Todd O'Hara, CEO of TracPlus, said the integration aims to give frontline personnel "a more complete operational picture" by streaming aviation data directly into the IGNIS platform.

The companies said the partnership aligns with a 2025 White House Office of Science and Technology Policy directive, issued under Executive Order 14308, calling for a national roadmap to modernize wildfire firefighting technology and improve data sharing between systems.

Bridger Aerospace is based in Belgrade, Montana, and provides aerial firefighting and wildfire management services to federal and state agencies, including the U.S. Forest Service.
