Team Wildfire develops and deploys jet engine-enabled fire suppression technology for large-scale vegetation fire control. Their mobile units apply fire retardant at high speed to protect communities, infrastructure, and assets from catastrophic loss. This technology offers rapid response capabilities for wildfire suppression, evacuation route hardening, and prescribed fire containment.

Problem
Wildfires are increasing in frequency and severity, causing significant economic losses, environmental damage, and risks to human life and infrastructure. Current methods for controlling these megafires are often insufficient, requiring extensive resources and exposing firefighters to dangerous conditions.
Solution
Team Wildfire develops AI-enabled, jet engine-powered robotic systems designed to control and suppress wildfires. These autonomous vehicles simulate hurricane-like conditions to disrupt and contain the spread of fire. The robots can create fire breaks, harden evacuation routes by applying long-term retardants, protect critical assets with chemical barriers, and contain prescribed fires to reduce the risk of escape. This technology aims to provide a force-multiplying investment, especially for military base protection and other high-value assets.
Target Audience
The primary customers are fire departments, government agencies, military bases, and owners of critical infrastructure seeking advanced solutions for wildfire prevention and suppression.
