The severity of wildfires has been increasing over the past decades. Giving rise to increased loss of life, damage to property and destruction of nature. Presently employed solutions to monitor vast areas, such as forest are lacking and expensive. The goal of Heimdall together with team “FireFlys” is to deploy cutting edge sensing technologies on a UAV ( Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The combination of maneuverability and sensing from a top-down perspective creates a great system for early detection and continuous sensing of forest fires.
