EmberEye – AI-Powered Drone Swarm
Innovator ID
SNDMAC009

EmberEye uses AI-powered autonomous drones for early detection of forest fires, preventing large-scale damage through real-time hotspot monitoring.
Every year, thousands of forest fires destroy millions of acres of land, threatening wildlife, human settlements, and natural resources. Most existing detection systems are slow, expensive, and reactive, identifying fires only after significant damage occurs. According to reports, India alone recorded over 37,000 forest fire alerts in 2023, and globally, wildfire losses exceed 22 million acres annually.
EmberEye solves this critical problem by introducing AI-powered autonomous drone swarms capable of detecting and confirming early-stage fire hotspots in real time. These drones use thermal imaging, AI-based edge processing, and a decentralized mesh network to instantly alert authorities, allowing for rapid containment before the fire spreads. This proactive solution minimizes loss, saves wildlife habitats, protects rural communities, and reduces firefighting costs. By making early intervention affordable and scalable, EmberEye bridges the gap between environmental technology and sustainable forest management.EmberEye deploys autonomous drone swarms with AI-based fire detection that instantly locate and alert authorities about forest fire hotspots. This enables faster response times, reduces environmental damage, and provides a cost-effective, scalable, and proactive approach to forest fire management.
