LEITEK Innovative Solutions’ Post

We’re proud to announce that on the 5th and 6th of October, Leitek Innovative Solutions participated in the semi-finals of the XPRIZE Wildfire competition, a global challenge with $11 million prize pool with the aim of revolutionizing wildfire detection and suppression, as part of Team AeroWatch. Semi-finalist teams will be judged based on Real-Time detection capabilities; autonomous decision-making; mobility and suppression capability, and operational safety. Our AeroWatch team (www.aerotech.tech) is an international consortium led by BCN Drone Center and Centre Tecnològic de Telecomunicacions de Catalunya (CTTC), uniting leading companies from across Europe and North America. Together, we’re developing a System of Systems that integrates cameras, satellites, drones and IoT sensors to detect and combat wildfires in real time. Our SafeForest-Shield® early wildfire detection system contributes to the solution with its ability to detect wildfires accurately and rapidly, also allowing for seamless integration with the IoT sensors and the rest of the system helping to bring a safer, smarter, and more resilient firefighting future to life. AeroWatch's Team members also include besides LEITEK Innovative Solutions : Avy, CATUAV, Flare Bright Ltd., Flying Objects Technologies, Gotonomi, Near Space Labs, Pau Costa Foundation, Skycharge, Swift Aerospace, Viasat, Videosoft Global, VizAir, volant We would like to thank Escola Nacional de Bombeiros, based in Sintra, Portugal and our partners N5 Sensors, Inc. from Maryland, USA, for the help during the trials that involved SafeForest-Shield®. #XPrize #WildfireXPrize #PROCIV #Innovation #AI #WildfirePrevention #WildfireDetection #DNACascais
