INTRODUCTION

We are FireDrone and we’re here to reduce the loss of lives of firefighters through the use of UAV for life-threatening situations

PROBLEM:

• Collecting data through hazardous conditions and communication
• Slow and time consuming to upload and to keep the blue prints uploaded
• Not real time data feed
• Limited visibility
• How accurate is a 20 year old blueprint?
• Is the data standard the same for the blueprints?
• Expensive to fit every house with a smart zap smoke detector; only need a few drones needed
• Human eyes cannot see through smoke; FireDrones can thanks to LITO technology
• Human eyes cannot see heat sources (infrared); FireDrones can thanks to infrared cameras

ADVANTAGES

• Reduce threat to fire fighters lives
• Faster intelligence collection
• Real-time data collection
• View the incident in real time remotely and safely

SOLUTION

• Use drones to fly into dangerous situations
• Drones using LITO technology can see through the smoke to survey the scene correctly,
• Drones are flown by the firefighters and the data is collected and when combined with machine learning leads to the drones becoming more autonomous
• Can see through walls to identify rescue targets

PRODUCT: Modified drone

• Has LITO camera fitted to it
• Firefighter uses google glasses to see using the drones eyes which can see through smoke and can see where the fire ‘hotspots’ are thanks to infrared
• Reduces the likelihood of a firefighter being killed, if the drone is crushed it can be replaced
• Has wifi connection built into it or internet connection
• Drone is fed the 3D data ahead of time to speed up the model generation
