DART Aerospace, April 29, 2026 - DART Aerospace has received a new TCCA STC SH26-18 for enhancements to its Fire Attack™ System Model 304, designed for Medium Bell 205, 212, 412, AB412, and UH-1H helicopters.
These latest upgrades are designed to improve operational efficiency, safety, and mission capability. They include an improved stowable hover pump kit, a new emergency jettison switch integrated into the primary flight control, and the capability to perform unaided night hover refills.
The Fire Attack™ System Model 304 features a belly-mounted carbon fiberglass tank with a capacity of 1,420 liters (375 gallons) of water or 114 liters (30 gallons) of foam retardant, providing operators with a dependable and efficient solution for wildfire suppression missions.
With its TCCA STC approval, these enhancements deliver a certified and reliable solution that increases operational flexibility and improves safety in both day and night firefighting operations.
Operators can utilize cockpit-controlled selectable drop patterns via a three-door salvo system to adjust for specific fire conditions while maintaining cargo hook access for mission flexibility. Designed for rapid deployment, the entire corrosion-resistant unit can be installed or removed in approximately 30 minutes and is certified for both day and night VFR operations
