I talked to Paul Darley about this build-up. It's a test mule for Ford and Microsoft (and others) for communication and fire mapping. Funny thing is, there is no "Darley" products on-board other than their drone stuff.Spotted this today at FDIC 2024 setup, built by the Darley Company! I will get more info on this, better photos, and the capabilities it carries when show opens. It looks to have a communication box on the top at the very least for back country comms.
Any ideas on the comms set-up to support this role? I know ICS folks are adding FirstNet phones as primaries but there’s something about an in-truck radio system…. Would be cool to see images of internal set-up on this truck.It's a wildland command rig. Probably has heated seats and cup warmers to keep the Chief's coffee hot.
I don't think most of the manufacturers of public safety gear are set up yet for Bronco because there's not that many out there being used in that application. I don't see custom consoles yet, which will be a challenge since the shifter is in the way but always ways to work around it. Radio systems usually come down to commercial equipment from L3Harris, Motorola, or Kenwood. Add in commercial repeater systems and you have the makings of command rig.Any ideas on the comms set-up to support this role?
