San Diego Gas & Electric
Early in the NICS development senior managers at San Diego Gas & Electric, the San Diego-based utility, saw how Raven-NICS capabilities could allow them to have greater situational awareness on evolving emergencies, not to mention added safety for employees in the field. SDGE stepped up early and funded the revolutionary ODIN project which mounted a high resolution Video/IR camera on Air Attack 330. More significantly, SDGE provided the critical bootstrap funding to help WICS get off the ground and engineer the transition of NICS to Raven. None of the progress that has been experienced in this program could have happened without the support of SDGE, and especially Danny Zaragoza, Cameron Durckel, Randy Lyle, and Hal Mortier.

The Nonprofit Organization support division of AWS has provided critical assistance to WICS as we have re-hosted the NICS technology into the AWS Cloud in the form of Raven. Of particular help have been Marko Cemovic, Chris Timmerman, and Brad Coughlan (Amazon Australia).
