Wildfires have become increasingly regular due to climate change, with devastating effects.

WHAT WE’RE UP AGAINST
The XPRIZEWildfire competition is no small feat. It challenges teams to detect wildfires across vast landscapes in under one minute and provide detailed characterizations within ten minutes to aid firefighting efforts effectively. This daunting task requires rapid data processing and precise analysis, capabilities at which our ORCA platform excels.
 

OUR SECRET WEAPON: THE ORCA PLATFORM
ORCA, our groundbreaking Geospatial AI technology, is a robust cloud-based platform designed to process petabytes of satellite imagery rapidly. It excels in rapid mapping, a crucial ability for timely and effective wildfire response. With the addition of our ORCA™ HUNTR tool, we can also train AI models at an unprecedented pace, allowing us to respond swiftly to evolving situations without the need for complex coding. This combination of speed and precision makes ORCA an invaluable asset in our arsenal against wildfires.
