Aerial water drops are analyzed and evaluated based on the data.
Wildfires are becoming more frequent and more intense worldwide. Fires often become infernos due to heat, drought and wind, especially in the summer. The problem is compounded by the climate crisis. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Mathematics ITWM and the startup CAURUS Technologies GmbH are responding to this growing global threat. They are collaborating to develop a machine learning system for more precise aerial firefighting that determines the fire situation in real time and calculates the optimum aerial drop time.
