VULCAN
Project Topic: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Fire Mitigation
Description: The primary focus of VULCAN is to expand the capability of firefighting small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) by providing emergency services with a fast, high-tech system that will quickly eliminate hotspots before they grow into wildfires. The system will be able to semi-autonomously navigate to and eliminate up to three hotspots. Use of sUAS can greatly aid in saving both lives and property by reducing the need for operators to enter dangerous situations.
