AUTONOMOUS WILDLAND FIRE SUPPRESSION

MINUTES, NOT LITRES.

MINUTES, NOT LITRES.

MINUTES, NOT LITRES.

Fire Defence Systems builds autonomous wildland fire suppression — a sensing, deciding and delivery network that puts retardant on a new ignition inside five minutes, in terrain no vehicle can reach, at night, in wind that grounds aircraft.

01 · THE PROBLEM

ENGINEERED FOR THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES.

ENGINEERED FOR THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES.

Ninety-five per cent of wildfires are held on initial attack. The few that escape cause almost all the loss. We exist to move the line between those two numbers — and the line is drawn in the first five minutes, where every conventional response is slowest.

Ninety-five per cent of wildfires are held on initial attack. The few that escape cause almost all the loss. We exist to move the line between those two numbers — and the line is drawn in the first five minutes, where every conventional response is slowest.

TERRAIN NO VEHICLE CAN REACH

No bridge, no ford, no road. The ground between a crew and a new ignition is the fire’s oldest ally.

AT NIGHT

Fire lies down after dark — the cheapest window to hold it — and it is exactly the window crewed aviation cannot use.

IN WIND THAT GROUNDS AIRCRAFT

The conditions that make a fire dangerous are the conditions that keep conventional air attack on the ground.

02 · THE SYSTEM

SENSE. DECIDE. DELIVER.

SENSE. DECIDE. DELIVER.

One network, three jobs. The mesh measures, fire control solves, the platform puts retardant exactly where the mathematics says it belongs.

One network, three jobs. The mesh measures, fire control solves, the platform puts retardant exactly where the mathematics says it belongs.

S-01 · SENSE

Measured at the fire.

ISR aircraft and the sensor mesh hold over the ignition, measuring wind, spread and intensity at the fire — not modelled from a road. Every node streams live data to fire control.

S-02 · DECIDE

One number: the burst point.

Fire control fuses the wind field, terrain and fire behaviour to solve where each FD25 round should burst for maximum retardant coverage on the ground. Solved before anything is released.

S-03 · DELIVER

Guided. Repeatable. Held.

On a person’s authorisation, rounds release from the platform, cross the ground no vehicle can, and burst at the solved point — a retardant curtain drifting onto the fire until the mesh confirms it is held.

Every response runs the same chain — and autonomy runs to the edge of the trigger, then stops.

Every response runs the same chain — and autonomy runs to the edge of the trigger, then stops.

DETECTION & CUEING

A heat signature is flagged and cross-cued from a second sensor before anyone moves.

ISR FLIGHT

Aircraft hold over the ignition, measuring the fire and the wind at the fire.

FIRE CONTROL & SOLUTION

The burst point for each FD25 round is solved from live data: wind field, terrain, spread.

HUMAN AUTHORISATION

A person reviews the solution and authorises every release. Nothing fires without that decision.

GUIDED DELIVERY

Rounds cross the denied ground and burst at the solved point, upwind, for maximum coverage.

SAFETY CASE & ASSURANCE

Every release is logged end-to-end: what was seen, what was solved, who authorised, where it landed.

04 · HOW WE OPERATE

FOUR COMMITMENTS.

FOUR COMMITMENTS.

The brand essence is not a slogan set. It is the standard the system — and the company — is held to.

EARLY

We arrive in the first five minutes, because that is where the fire is still small.

MEASURED

Every release point is solved from data taken at the fire, not modelled from a road.

ACCOUNTABLE

Autonomy runs to the edge of the trigger and stops. A person authorises every release.

CANDID

We publish what the system cannot do. Agencies have been sold miracles before.

To hold the fires that would otherwise escape — measured honestly, and never fired without a person deciding.
