Aerial Spraying
Overview
A proven platform for long-range high-volume aerial spraying operations. Our C-130s are available for use with IAR’s proprietary “RIDSS” aerial spray system. The Rapid Installation and Deployment Spray System allows a single aircraft to treat a very large geographic area quickly and efficiently. Aircraft can be quickly reconfigured from standard to sprayer configuration, and back, in expeditionary environments within just a few hours.
