Eberswalde, Germany – A company that specializes early Forest fire The detection has developed a new AI -based drone that, he says, will help accelerate the detection, location and monitoring of fires.
DRON SILVUARD DRYARD NETWORKS appeared on Thursday at Eberswalde outside Berlin as forest fires conducted by Extreme heat and Climate change They are becoming a more common, often Mortal phenomenon Around the world.
The drone will deliver infrared images, among other things, and will work in combination with a fire detection system that the company developed previously and is already being used in several countries. The fire detection system, called Silvanet, is designed to detect forest fires in the burning stage using solar energy sensors connected through a wireless network.
Each gas sensor can protect an area of the size of a football field and be linked to a tree. The plan is that once Silvanet detects a fire, a nearby Silvaguard dron will trigger to fly to the location and provide detailed images.
“Today we saw a combination of Silvanet, the gas sensors with solar energy that detected the fire in a matter of minutes, with Silvaguard, the first prototype of an autonomous, a drone enabled for ia that we send in response to a fire,” said Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO and Cofunder, Networks Dryad.
The drone “flew autonomously to the location of the sensor, detecting the fire and delivered an infrared and optical video from the point of fire,” he said about the newly developed drone.
The company is still waiting to get the approval for the commercial use of Silvaguard drone of the authorities.
Information about the fire, including geographical coordinates, video and infrared images, will be sent to firefighters who will then know where the fire is spreading and how large it is, which will help them to know how many firefighters should be deployed.
“When it comes to forest fires, time is essential, you can’t be fast enough,” Brinkschulte said.
