What is the Problem?
Every year, wildfires destroy thousands of homes and force families to evacuate. Current firefighting methods rely heavily on manned aircraft and ground crews , which are slow to deploy, high-latency, dangerous, and extremely costly.
Despite spending billions of dollars annually, these methods can’t protect every home — especially in remote or fast-spreading fire zones. Pilots risk their lives flying low through dense smoke and unpredictable winds, while the high operational costs make large-scale, continuous firefighting unsustainable.
In short, today’s wildfire response is slow, reactive, risky, and inefficient — leaving people, homes, and forests unprotected, while putting pilots’ lives in danger.
