WILDFIRE

Built for Rapid Wildfire Response

FireSwarm develops autonomous ultra heavy lift wildfire support systems designed for environments where smoke, terrain, visibility, and operational risk limit traditional aviation response. Combining dynamic mission coordination, swarm enabled autonomy, and heavy payload transport, the platform supports suppression, logistics, resupply, and emergency operations while helping agencies sustain wildfire response with greater speed, flexibility, and operational continuity.

Faster Response. Safer Operations. Greater Control.

Rapid Initial
Containment

Deploy aerial suppression and support operations quickly to help slow fire growth during critical early response periods.

Continuous Aerial Coverage

Maintain operational capability in smoke, low visibility, remote terrain, and changing wildfire or prescribed burn conditions.

Reduced Frontline Exposure

Reduce risk to aviation crews and responders by shifting high exposure operations to autonomous systems.

Closing Critical Wildfire Gaps

What Our Partners Are Saying

  • “Wildfires aren’t going away—and in many cases, they’re becoming more severe. Leveraging emerging technologies like FireSwarm is critical to reducing safety risks to our crews and the communities we protect.”

    Chief Dwight Seymour, Kelowna Fire Department

  • “Being part of a global corporation focused on developing technology that protects people and critical infrastructure around the world is inspiring. Applying that focus to tackling Canada's biggest threats brings that inspiration home. By integrating FireSwarm’s pioneering suppression technology with our real-time visualization platform, IRIS Terminal, we’re not only improving the speed and effectiveness of wildfire response, we're actively shaping the future of disaster resilience and defense readiness.”

    Jordan Freed, President and Managing Director at Kongsberg Geospatial

  • “We are committed to the safety of our neighbours and protection of our assets. With this new partnership, we are enhancing our already comprehensive wildfire prevention and mitigation plans by incorporating additional wildfire resiliency and crew response capability. We will be exploring and testing these solutions, and we intend to expand their implementation to various sites, projects and communities.”

    Colleen Giroux-Schmidt, Senior Vice President - Development Western Canada and Federal Government Affairs, Innergex Renewable Energy Inc.

  • “Wildfires are becoming more frequent and destructive, threatening communities, ecosystems, and the economy. The companies we selected, including FireSwarm, are developing cutting-edge solutions to reduce fire risk, improve response times, and protect vulnerable regions.”

    Sarah Goodman, President and CEO, NorthX Climate Tech

  • "I support Fireswarm for their forward-thinking initiative and dedication to advancing wildfire response capabilities. I believe that FireSwarm can make a positive impact to tackling this critical issue that threatens our communities and our economy..."

    Patrick Weiler, MP West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country

  • "We see this unique opportunity to combine our expertise with firefighting and remote aircraft operation in resource management to make a monumental improvement in early attack opportunities. Extending our operations to nighttime is an intuitively efficient and generational leap in safety for communities and infrastructure threatened by wildfire."

    Domenico Iannidinardo, CEO, Strategic Natural Resource Group

  • “SenseNet and FireSwarm represent two critical halves of the future wildfire equation: persistent awareness and immediate action. When you combine a world where there’s a sensor on everything with autonomous systems that can respond instantly, you move from reacting to catastrophic fires to stopping ignitions before they become disasters. Together, we’re actively building the integration layer between detection and response, creating a connected ecosystem where real-time intelligence can trigger immediate autonomous action. That kind of end-to-end capability has the potential to transform wildfire resilience globally.”

    Hamed Noori, CEO, SenseNet

  • “We are incredibly excited about the potential of FireSwarm’s technology to transform early wildfire suppression across Canada. The ability to detect and respond quickly can help protect communities, cultural lands, critical infrastructure, and natural resources before fires become major disasters. Our partnership has shown the power of combining innovative technology with Indigenous leadership, local knowledge, and community-driven solutions to build safer, more resilient communities for future generations.”

    Ojay Matias, Director of Strategic Partnerships & Development, Cheslatta Contracting, Economic Development Arm of Cheslatta Carrier Nation

A New Standard for Wildfire Response

FireSwarm’s proprietary mission coordination platform enables a single operator to supervise multiple ultra heavy lift aircraft simultaneously through dynamic mission planning, autonomous execution, and real time operational awareness. Designed for wildfire environments that demand speed, flexibility, and continuous coordination, the platform helps agencies expand response capability while integrating within existing command structures and operational workflows.
