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

Public safety drones are already operating in high-stakes environments - unpredictable terrain, emergencies, critical timelines. That’s where TEAL’s eSIM + Network Orchestration Service (NOS) steps in: 🔄 Built-in redundancy & multi-carrier failover so connectivity doesn’t go dark when every second counts. 🌐 Global coverage - managing networks over the air, dynamically - for beyond-line-of-sight operations under challenging conditions. 💡 Cost, performance, and resilience, all optimized automatically, not as afterthoughts. When public safety agencies are flying drones, responding to wildfires, crowd events, or search & rescue, having “always-on, mission-critical connectivity” isn’t a luxury. It’s foundational. As the article suggests, regulations should catch up - and tech should lead. If you’re part of a public safety team, drone operations, or policy group working on this intersection - let’s talk about how TEAL NOS makes complex network rules an advantage, not a barrier. 📩 DM me or leave a comment and I’ll share more about what works in practice. #PublicSafety #Drones #Connectivity #eSIM #NetworkOrchestration #IoT #DroneTech

How Satellites and Drones are Changing the Way We See the World In today’s fast-moving world, real-time information isn’t just valuable, it’s essential. Whether it’s monitoring natural disasters, tracking wildlife, managing logistics, or enhancing security, automated live tracking systems powered by satellites and drones have become game changers. But what exactly does that mean? Let’s break it down How Satellites Fit In Satellites orbit the Earth and continuously capture images and positioning data. Examples: Sentinel-2 (by the European Space Agency) monitors environmental changes. PlanetScope (by Planet Labs) captures daily images of the entire Earth. Starlink and Iridium provide data communication networks to transmit tracking data in real time. These satellites can locate and track moving objects using GPS, infrared sensors, or radar often with accuracy within a few meters. The Role of Drones Drones (UAVs) fill the gap between the sky and the ground. They can be equipped with: High-resolution cameras (like the DJI Zenmuse H20T) Thermal sensors (for heat detection in night operations or search & rescue) LIDAR systems (for creating detailed 3D maps of terrain or structures) Unlike satellites, drones can fly lower and provide close-up, real-time views of a specific area. Automation in Action The “automated” part comes from AI and IoT integration. Modern systems can automatically: Detect motion or anomalies Send alerts to control centers Track vehicles, people, or goods without human input For example: Disaster Response: A drone swarm automatically maps flood zones, while satellites provide large-scale updates. Logistics: Cargo trucks equipped with IoT GPS units send live location data via satellite, improving route efficiency. Environmental Monitoring: Drones with AI-based recognition identify illegal deforestation or poaching in remote areas. #Innovation #Satellites #Drones #AI #Automation #LiveTracking #Geospatial #EarthObservation #IoT #Technology #SmartSystems #RemoteSensing #DataDriven #FutureTech

Exciting news! Excelerate joins SatCAV to pioneer smart, satellite-enabled driverless transport. We’re proud to join the newly launched SatCAV consortium, backed by the UK Space Agency and European Space Agency - ESA, to bring resilient satellite and 5G connectivity to autonomous shuttles in UK communities where coverage is patchy or non-existent. Together with Smart City MK CIC and Ohmio UK, we’re building a low-cost, easy-to-deploy solution that supports safe, remotely-supervised operations and reduces private car dependency. Beyond shuttles, the same platform can support drones, robots, community Wi-Fi, 5G in-fill and emergency network resilience.
