This rapid wildfire response demonstration showed the effective fusion of Sikorsky’s MATRIX™ flight autonomy with Rain’s wildfire mission autonomy system to suppress a fire in its incipient stage.
Representatives from NASA, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Los Angeles County Fire Department, Orange County Fire Authority, and the philanthropic and impact investment community witnessed the demonstration as part of a two-day meeting to discuss deploying autonomy for aerial firefighting.
