We developed 80% of our 48 subsystems, which gives us agility and flexibility to provide tailored turnkey solutions to our customers' needs reliably. https://fire-in.eu/en listed our solution as civilian use for early wildfire detection. We already held meetings with France, Spain, & Greece and gained tractions with the US Dept. of Interiors. We just don't sell systems; we also provide Drone(Data)-as-a-Service business model to enterprises who may have limited use of our system on a yearly basis. We owned several patents, of which one of them approved in May 2020 by US PTO. We have several unique custom solutions built on AI/Computer Vision. One of them is to work in tandem with First Responders in early wildfire detections. We can scan 10,000 sq. Km every 12 hours. The moment the drone detects a hotspot as small as 6x3 feet from 2,700 feet above the ground, it goes back to the location to take pictures. Images then is transmitted to the Ground Control Station so the Operator can dispatch the First Responder to the site. We also provide Geodesy certified mapping of large areas. We are a UAV swarm minded company and have many exciting projects in the pipeline that will continue to shatter new grounds. We are disrupting terrestrial & piloted flying systems, data collection, detection, and mapping businesses.
