The "Firefighting drone" UAV is designed for rapid localization of fuel and lubricant (FSL) fires, where suppression poses life risks to firefighting crews due to high explosion hazard — including at storage facilities, fuel depots, and gas stations in confined and complex conditions.
Advantages:
- Personnel safety: firefighting crew can operate up to 700 m away from the ignition source through the use of unmanned technology. The complex is designed for remote firefighting in conditions dangerous to personnel, with high explosion risk.
- Operational mobility: enables rapid suppression of fire outbreaks in areas with difficult access to tanks, and operation in confined and hard-to-reach industrial environments.
- Precision targeting: capability for targeted foam delivery inside tanks through breach openings, and precise positioning of foam application into ignition zones from various angles at heights of 20 meters and above.
- Speed of deployment: stored directly at locations of potential fire occurrence, enabling rapid localization before the arrival of fire units (deployment time from 10 minutes).
- Cost efficiency: affordable equipment cost makes it a more viable solution compared to conventional fire vehicles, particularly given its rapid deployment capability.
