What is a fire-suppression ball?
It is a self-contained extinguishing device. The Foton drone carries fire-suppression balls and releases them over the fire from a hardware dropping system.
Does the drone carry a thermal camera?
Yes. The wildfire platform combines a thermal camera with AI to support the decisions of the response team.
Who are Foton firefighting drones for?
Civil protection agencies, forestry services and emergency response units.
