AeroWatch has been registered as a team in the XPRIZE Wildfire Challenge, as it aligns perfectly with our vision of developing autonomous solutions to support first responders in emergency situations. By leveraging robotic technologies, we aim to address emergencies more efficiently while minimizing risks to first responders.
XPRIZE Wildfire is a 4-year, $11 million competition incentivizing the innovation of firefighting technologies that will end destructive wildfires so that humanity and beneficial wildfire can safely co-exist. The prize aims to transform current wildfire management approaches through the development of new technologies that can rapidly and accurately detect, characterize, and respond to wildfires before they become destructive.
We aim to participate in Autonomous Wildfire Response Track (Track B), in wich teams have 10 minutes to autonomously detect and suppress a high-risk fire in a 1000 km2, environmentally challenging area, leaving any decoy fires untouched.
To effectively address this challenge, the Pau Costa Foundation has joined our consortium as a support partner, contributing their expertise on first responders’ requirements for firefighting operations.
