About Silvaguard Drone
- It is an AI-based drone designed to enhance the early detection, location, and monitoring of wildfires.
- It was introduced by Dryad Networks, an environmental IoT startup based in Berlin.
- The drone will deliver infrared images, among other things, and works in combination with a fire detection system that the company developed earlier and that’s already being used in several countries.
- The fire detection system, called Silvanet, is designed to detect wildfires at the smoldering stage using solar-powered gas sensors connected via a wireless network.
- Each gas sensor can protect an area the size of a football field and be attached to a tree.
- The plan is that once Silvanet detects a fire, it will trigger a nearby Silvaguard drone to fly to the location and provide detailed images.
- The information about the fire, including geographic coordinates, video and infrared images, will then be sent to the firefighters who will then know where the fire is spreading and how big it is.
- The system aims to enhance firefighting efficiency by delivering precise fire locations and statuses in real-time.
