Greece has deployed a new wildfire detection system utilizing four OroraTech nanosatellites, each capable of identifying fires as small as four square meters. These satellites provide hourly thermal imaging updates, which are then analyzed by AI models to distinguish actual fires from other heat sources. The system aims to provide incident commanders with real-time data on fire location, size, intensity, and predicted spread, significantly improving response times, especially in remote areas. AI
IMPACT Enhances critical infrastructure resilience and public safety through advanced AI-driven monitoring and prediction capabilities.
