Development status
Building it in public.
We are an early-stage organization. Nothing described on this site is operationally deployed. Here is exactly where the programme stands and what has to happen next.
- 01Underway
Research
Wildfire detection literature, aviation constraints, engineering trade-offs, and conversations about what responders actually need.
- 02Underway
System design
Architecture for the sensor node, UAV, communications, Operations Center, and software that ties them together.
- 03In progress
Prototype
Building and bench-testing the first components — node hardware, payload, and mission software.
- 04Ahead
Field testing
Detection, communications, flight, sensing, and reliability tested outside the lab in real conditions.
- 05Ahead
Pilot
Working toward supervised real-world evaluation alongside people who respond to fires.
- 06Ahead
Deployment
Eventual operational deployment of the integrated system.
No stage is marked complete. Stages marked "Ahead" have not started and have no committed dates.
01What is true today
- We are developing a wildfire detection and UAV response system.
- We are developing supporting sensor, software, aerospace, and robotics technologies.
- Wildfire is our first major mission.
- The organization operates a 24/7/365 Operations Center.
02What is not true yet
- No sensor network is deployed in the field.
- No aircraft fleet is in operational service.
- No fires have been detected or responded to by this system.
- No response times, coverage areas, or performance figures exist to publish.
When any of that changes, this page changes first.
03Later, not now
Wildfire is only the beginning.
The same foundation could eventually serve other emergencies. That is a direction, not a roadmap — the wildfire system comes first.
Search and rescue
Aerial search patterns with thermal imaging over difficult terrain.
Storm response
Rapid aerial assessment where ground access is cut off.
Disaster mapping
Georeferenced imagery to build a picture of what changed and where.
Other natural hazards
The same sensing, autonomy, and coordination foundation, pointed at a different problem.
