00:00:01.160 --> 00:00:05.960
The number of wildfires and devastation 
has increased dramatically in recent years. 

00:00:05.960 --> 00:00:10.680
Modern situational awareness is required 
to help us better assess situations and  

00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:16.600
make better decisions by reacting to fires more 
quickly.  OroraTech analyses the high-resolution  

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:22.160
long-wave and mid-wave thermal images captured 
by a space-based sensor network and provides  

00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:27.000
critical insights with high confidence rates 
about fire locations and the fire spread in a  

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:32.280
very short time.  Currently, we send an update 
to the emergency services every 3 hours, even  

00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:37.600
by email or text message. Within the next few 
years, we will expand our space-based sensor  

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.040
network to capture every place on Earth every 
15 minutes. This technology is not only powerful,  

00:00:43.040 --> 00:00:49.240
it is extremely accurate.  We can analyze even the 
smallest fires which are only as large as a car  

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:54.640
or a small house and also monitor the ongoing 
danger of a particular fire, based on the fire  

00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:59.960
radiative power it generates in megawatts. Our 
unique solution shows predictability and can  

00:00:59.960 --> 00:01:05.800
send timely warnings before a fire gets out of 
control. A prescribed fire in New Mexico could have  

00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:11.200
been monitored and its escape early detected with 
our technology.  Since the satellites are looking  

00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.840
at all times, the spread of the fire could have 
been prevented with this detection ability and  

00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:21.680
$4 billion of damage could have been saved. In 
this way we can save costs and better protect  

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:27.280
life property and critical infrastructure. In 
the same way, we minimize human reconnaissance  

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.080
missions with aircraft or drones. Our mission and 
vision is to contribute to a sustainable Earth and  

00:01:33.080 --> 00:01:38.920
climate change mitigation and adaptation, and 
with our growing global wildfire protection  

00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.915
network we are taking an important step 
in that direction.

00:01:42.915 --> 00:01:44.731
