Wildfire Defense

Unify sensors and drones into a real-time system for faster wildfire detection and coordinated response.

The stakes

Wildfires are growing in frequency and intensity, threatening lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems across increasingly vast and remote terrain. Current detection and response systems are often fragmented—relying on siloed aerial platforms, visual/thermal cameras, and human reporting. This delays response time and limits situational awareness.

Manual processes, lack of integration, and insufficient coverage in rural and mountainous areas further exacerbate the challenge. The need is clear: unify sensors, drones, and decision-making into a real-time, automated wildfire defense system.

How we solve it

With Legion, Picogrid delivers a unified platform that integrates thermal cameras, visual feeds, environmental sensors, and autonomous drones into a single operational picture. Our system enables early fire detection, automated alerts, and rapid drone deployment for real-time situational awareness.

Using our family of edge nodes, Picogrid supports edge deployments across rural, forested, and off-grid areas. When a fire is detected, our platform can instantly trigger drone flights, notify authorities, and provide persistent aerial overwatch—all without manual intervention.

By standardizing data from disparate sources and enabling interoperable automation, Picogrid helps fire departments, land managers, and utility operators respond faster and more effectively—saving time, property, and lives.

Picogrid's technology is deployed for wildfire surveillance across multiple sites in California, supporting federal and commercial partners. Out technology integrates visual, infrared, thermal, and other sensors for early-stage fire detection.
