Silvaguard Drone
- Silvaguard is an autonomous, AI-based drone system designed for early forest fire detection and suppression.
- It is developed by Dryad Networks and works in combination with the Silvanet system, a solar-powered wireless network.
- The Silvanet system enables communication in remote forest areas where mobile network coverage is unavailable.
Working Mechanism
- Silvaguard uses AI-powered sensors to detect wildfire smoke and differentiate it from other sources like vehicle emissions, reducing false alarms.
- Once a fire is detected, AI-driven drones autonomously assess and help suppress the fire, ensuring a rapid response.
- The system significantly reduces fire response times, helping to prevent large-scale forest destruction.
