With global warming increasing wildfire risk year-by-year, the need for a system that reduces damages made by wildfires becomes more and more apparent. The FireFlight project aims to develop an aerial support system to assist firefighting brigades in their fight against wildfires through their surveillance, monitoring, and extinguishing. To provide a complementary service to existing operations, market analyses and interviews conducted indicate a demand for surveillance of fire-prone areas to enable early detection, improving the resolution of fire risk area monitoring, early suppression of wildfires, monitoring wildfire development, and providing information to fire brigades during firefighting.
