Wildfire Detection and Control

While wildfires may have a beneficial impact on ecological resources, their impacts are often devastating when uncontrolled.

In Australia alone, the 2019-2020 wildfires killed or displaced an estimated 3 billion animals and caused an estimated $100bn in overall damages. Similarly, Indonesia’s fire season led to the closure of schools affecting 5 million students, bringing the entire country to a standstill. Globally, both natural or ignited wildfires, are becoming for frequent, more dangerous, and more costly.

Governments and local firefighting services are looking for technologies and tools enabling early detection and online fire-status analysis, increasing their ability for an early response, critical for stopping a blaze from growing out of control.

The Challenge

The remoteness and vastness of fire-prone areas make data-driven decision-making complex.

Firefighting agencies are looking to adopt remote imaging technologies which can be key in early wildfire detection, fire-spread mapping, and modeling, thereby enabling firefighters the ability to make tactical decisions before arriving at the scene.

Effective tools aimed for the management of wildfires require the integration of several disciplines, including forest and landscape ecology, fire ecology, remote sensing, remote communication, and others, all installed and deployed through a simple-cost effective network.

The Solution

The hiSky-Opgal-Maris wildfire detection management solution, is an innovative edge-based field system, offering high resolution thermal sensing, communicated real-time via an advanced cost-effective IoT satellite network.

This solution, crafted specifically for remote areas which lacks connectivity, enables continuous monitoring of vast forest terrain, early identification of fire, precise location within a defined grid, early notification of fire management systems and minimal false alarms.

hiSky-Opgal-Maris combined system value breakdown 

This system is uniquely designed to enable a unified command of numerous (hundreds/ thousands) end points, which comprise a vast sensory grid that continuously monitors and transmits data from remote areas. This offering is the product of a strategic combination of three core components:

  • Opgal thermal camera – detects, analysis, and alerts in case a fire eruption is identified within the field of view of an Opgal camera sector.
  • Maris advanced compression Mercury-Nano – compress the camera data (telemetry and video) for the purpose of saving communication channel resources.
  • The hiSky’s Satellite IoT network (Smartellite™) – A unique satellite network which routinely controls hundreds or thousands of IoT endpoints, and seamlessly transfers to a focused video transmission of a focused area during non-routine/ emergency status.
