The robotic fireline is a modular, ground-based system made up of modular sections that can be deployed along a fire’s edge to establish a continuous line of water or suppressant. It is remotely operated and designed to navigate varied terrain while delivering targeted, sustained suppression or supporting controlled ignition during prescribed burns.
Defend Better, Burn Smarter
The robotic fireline is a modular, ground-based system made up of modular sections that can be deployed along a fire’s edge to establish a continuous line of water or suppressant. It is remotely operated and designed to navigate varied terrain while delivering targeted, sustained suppression or supporting controlled ignition during prescribed burns.
Individual Control
Independent spray nozzles every 10ft with high inclination.
built for extremes
Operates on steep, uneven, and loose terrain.
Remote monitoring
Sensors and cameras along the robot for monitoring hot spots and fire.
The robotic fireline was developed using principles of biomimicry, resembling a snake as it navigates difficult terrain. It is composed of 20 ft modular sections, and each section serves a specific technical or operational purpose.
Steer & See
Remotely controlled steering using live depth and infrared camera feed.
Optimized for low-visibility and night operations.
Move & Lift
Self-propelled forward and backward movement.
Navigates dense brush
Climbs over obstacles up to 4ft
Climbs slopes up to 45°
Spray & Deliver
Every section contains two individually controlled spray nozzles. Each nozzle can be independently powered and aimed, and automated sensors assist operators with hotspot detection.
Nozzle inclination: 240° (8 - 4 o’clock)
Capacity: 200GPM
Ignite
Remotely ignite fuels.
Combine burning and containment for safe black lining and prescribed burns.
Continuous Deployment
The robot can reach lengths up to 1km (0.6mi) of continuous fireline, working steadily over long distances to monitor and control the perimeter of a wildfire, town, or critical infrastructure.
Portable by Design
Our modular design enables straightforward transportation and deployment via a trailer, with all equipment and power included. Future designs include Heli-compatible pods and ATV compact pods.
