FIRECOM - Using drones and AI to reduce the risk of wildfires spreading in urban-forest interfaces.

The FIRECOM project was developed by Axtron Systems as part of the EU Horizon CHAMELEON project. Its main objective is to use drones and artificial intelligence to help reduce the risk of wildfires spreading in urban-forest interfaces.

The project created a tool that uses drones to capture high-resolution aerial imagery of designated areas, and then automatically determines safe buffer zones around buildings and roads, where trees and vegetation density should be managed.

The FIRECOM project has indirectly received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation action programme, via the CHAMELEON Open Call #2 issued and executed under the CHAMELEON project (Grant Agreement no. 101060529)”.
