MAG operates, deploys, and maintains manned aircraft that provide aerial fire surveillance (detection and mapping) and airspace management (air attack/birddog) services. We provide our customers the full spectrum of aerial fire services: pilots and mission systems operators; maintenance for the aircraft, sensors and mission equipment; logistics and support; and site and program management. Multi-intelligence data collection and processing/exploitation/ dissemination services include electro-optical infra-red (EO/IR) full motion video (FMV), LIDAR, and multispectral and hyperspectral imagery (MSI/HSI).

VALUES
MAG is driven and guided by our core values of Serve-Win-Perform™
METHODOLOGY
MAG enhances intelligence collection through optimized TCPEDconcepts on all our ISR programs
TASKING The key to successful ISR activities is an ISR plan that is developed based on well reasoned analysis, driven by your requirements, focused on your directed tasks, and tied to your anticipated decisions or intended actions.
OPERATIONS We are fundamentally about ensuring the right sensors are positioned at the right place at the right time to provide the right feedback about activities within your area of operations.
PROCESSING We work to shorten the collection cycle on board the aircraft and with mission analysts on the ground. This enables us to improve performance and dictate favorable outcomes for you.
EXPLOITATION High resolution imagery is only the beginning. Instead of focusing entirely on advanced sensors and integrating new phenomenology, which can actually impede dynamic operations, we look at how we treat information once we have it.
DISSEMINATION We analyze collected information and present products, conclusions, or projections regarding the operational environment in a format the enables you to achieve situational understanding.
