Innovating Autonomous Wildfire Detection & Response
Date/Time: Thursday, September 14 at 3:00 – 4:00 pm ET
Webinar Description:
Extreme wildfires are on the rise. Globally, the severity of wildfires is increasing—they spread faster and burn larger areas at higher intensities. Extreme wildfires wreak havoc on the expanding Wildland-Urban Interface—where homes, business, and major infrastructure are most at risk, and drive over 80% of total associated fire damages. There is a pressing urgency to advance firefighting practices with innovation. Autonomous unmanned vehicles can and are playing an increasingly important role in wildfire detection, response, and suppression.
