Customer Background

A provincial forest fire brigade covers over 2 million hectares of forest. Manual watch and ground patrol have limited vision, slow response, and high risks, especially in mountains and at night.

Key Challenges

• High temperature, heavy smoke, and strong winds at fire scenes challenge the power system.

• Long hovering time to monitor fire spread.

• Complex mountain terrain demands stable low-altitude flight and wind resistance.

• Rapid deployment and on-site support for emergencies.
