ArgenTech Solutions & Exo Drone partner to provide UAS based fire monitoring for Canada’s Wildfires
ArgenTech Solutions, a leader in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Fire Monitoring, teamed with Laval, Quebec based Exo Drone, an acclaimed drone training, specialized UAS operator, and innovation pioneer, to provide SOPFEU(Société de Protection des Forêts Contre le Feu) emergent fire monitoring support for the raging wildfires in Quebec.
As Canada grappled with an alarming loss of over 11.5 million hectares(about the size of the entire state of Pennsylvania) to wildfires this year, ArgenTech Solutions and Exo Drone recently teamed over a 35-day period to surveil, map, and assess active wildfires including the Wemindji wildfire in the northern reaches east of Hudson Bay. Where ArgenTech provided their skills to fly the FireEye in a variety of locations; Exo Drone provided mapping expertise to quickly translate the acquired data into useful products forSOPFEU incident commanders to use for fire team deployment. Together, each company provided critical data capture and intelligence in real time.
At the heart of their collaboration is ArgenTech Solutions’ FireEye VTOLUAS which was designed specifically to with stand the unique environment of awildfire. Equipped with the Trillium HD-45 EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infra-Red)camera, the FireEye directly reduces the risk to manned aviation by providing an alternative unmanned solution that relates real-time visuals even in low visibility.
Together ArgenTech and Exo Drone will build on this first major collaborative effort to further expand their partnership to help bolster firefighting efforts with the aim of preserving communities, forests, and essential infrastructure including transmission lines from Hydro-Québec. In the upcoming weeks, they will combine their efforts to bring into service two new specialized VTOL platforms for wildfire monitoring; one based on the Carbonix Volanti, and one based on ArgenTech’s own newly developed Aquila, aderivative product of their acclaimed FireEye VTOL UAS.
