Drones for the fire service: the Inspire revolution
The startup Inspire has developed a fleet of drones capable of operating autonomously, monitoring fires
Smart drones for effective monitoring
Thanks to an innovative system called M.A.R.S. (Multiple Airdrone Response System), Inspire has developed a fleet of drones capable of operating autonomously, Monitoring fires in real time and providing fire fighters with crucial information to contain the flames.
Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors and driven by artificial intelligence algorithms, these flying drones create detailed heat maps and track the evolution of the fire, allowing first responders to:
- Identify critical points quickly: by identifying the areas where fire is spreading faster
- Predict the course of the fire: estimating the direction and speed of the flames, facilitating planning for extinguishing operations
- Get real-time information: providing fire fighters with an up-to-date picture of the situation, even in areas that are difficult to access
A winning team
The success of M.A.R.S. is the result of a close collaboration between Inspire and several academic and industrial institutions. Universities such as Genoa and the Politecnico di Torino have contributed to the development of technology, while industrial partners such as the Italian Army and the National Corps of Fire Brigades have provided valuable indications on operational needs in the field.
A unique and innovative system
The M.A.R.S. platform is distinguished from other solutions on the market by a number of unique features:
- Extended Range: Thanks to a quick battery replacement system, drones can operate for longer periods of time, ensuring continuous coverage of the fire area
- Flexibility: Drones can be equipped with different types of sensors and instruments, adapting to a wide range of missions
- Artificial intelligence: AI algorithms enable drones to make autonomous decisions and adapt to changing environmental conditions.
A safer future
With funding of over €2 million, INSPIRE is continuing its research and development work in the field of The aim is to make M.A.R.S. an indispensable tool for fighting forest fires. As Alberto Clavarino, Inspire’s Sales Manager, points out, ‘Inspire has identified a specific market need: the need to push the limits of current drone battery power systems. With M.A.R.S., we offer an innovative and high-performance solution.”
Breakthrough in the fight against forest fires
Inspire drones are a breakthrough in the fight against forest fires. Thanks to their ability to monitor flames in real time and provide firefighters with accurate and up-to-date information, These unmanned aircraft can help save lives, protect the environment and reduce damage caused by fires.
