Problem
Helicopter crews fighting wildfires lack real-time situational awareness and automated data capture, leading to slower response times, higher pilot workload, and limited integration of geospatial intelligence from airborne sensors.
Solution
Voxelis offers VoxVision, an AI-powered edge-computing platform installed on existing helicopters. The system processes multi‑sensor inputs—including thermal imaging and environmental data—in real time, providing pilots with actionable insights and automated mapping during fire suppression missions. By acting as an AI crewmember, VoxVision augments situational awareness, reduces pilot cognitive load, and generates high‑resolution geospatial datasets that can be shared instantly with ground teams and analysts. The platform is designed for seamless integration with current helicopter fleets, enabling operators to upgrade to autonomous helitanker capabilities without extensive hardware overhauls.
Target Audience
Primary customers are helicopter operators and fire‑suppression agencies that manage civil firefighting fleets, as well as government and private organizations requiring rapid aerial geospatial intelligence.
