System for fire suppression by autonomous air and ground vehicles

This invention describes a system to fight fires using small, quiet, electric-powered robotic aircraft called SkyQarts. These aircraft drop fire retardant and operate from a network of small facilities, called SkyNests, which have paved runways no longer than 200 meters. The system also includes autonomous ground carts to help move materials.

Why it matters: The past five years have seen substantial progress in battery technology and AI for autonomous flight, making the claimed electric, robotic aircraft more practical. Advances in distributed network management software also better support coordinating many small facilities.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAutonomous aircraft, robotics, distributed control software, infrastructure
