Destructive wildfires are on the rise globally. Accurate and timely detection of incipient wildfires from space has the potential to dramatically reduce their severity. Orbital Sidekick is excited to announce our participation in the XPRIZE Wildfire competition. OSK was one of twenty selected qualifying teams participating in the Space-Based Wildfire Detection and Intelligence Track (A). Our proposed solution uses a combination of hyperspectral data and high resolution imagery at critical wavelengths which will allow simultaneous detection of combustion and characterization of fire fuels. To find out more about Orbital Sidekick’s unique solution to this problem watch our video. To find out more about the XPRIZE Wildfire competition click here.
