-
The number of wildfires and devastation
has increased dramatically in recent years.
-
Modern situational awareness is required
to help us better assess situations and
-
make better decisions by reacting to fires more
quickly. OroraTech analyses the high-resolution
-
long-wave and mid-wave thermal images captured
by a space-based sensor network and provides
-
critical insights with high confidence rates
about fire locations and the fire spread in a
-
very short time. Currently, we send an update
to the emergency services every 3 hours, even
-
by email or text message. Within the next few
years, we will expand our space-based sensor
-
network to capture every place on Earth every
15 minutes. This technology is not only powerful,
-
it is extremely accurate. We can analyze even the
smallest fires which are only as large as a car
-
or a small house and also monitor the ongoing
danger of a particular fire, based on the fire
-
radiative power it generates in megawatts. Our
unique solution shows predictability and can
-
send timely warnings before a fire gets out of
control. A prescribed fire in New Mexico could have
-
been monitored and its escape early detected with
our technology. Since the satellites are looking
-
at all times, the spread of the fire could have
been prevented with this detection ability and
-
$4 billion of damage could have been saved. In
this way we can save costs and better protect
-
life property and critical infrastructure. In
the same way, we minimize human reconnaissance
-
missions with aircraft or drones. Our mission and
vision is to contribute to a sustainable Earth and
-
climate change mitigation and adaptation, and
with our growing global wildfire protection
-
network we are taking an important step
in that direction.
