Next1’s first commercial unmanned aerial system, the FireChaser UAS, has been purpose-built to detect, analyze, and map wildfires at a cost 50% to 80% lower than currently available solutions on the market.

Fully compatible with Next1’s MAWA-1 wildfire detection system, the FireChaser UAS can produce high-resolution thermal maps at a rate of 2000 hectares per flight hour. Some of the major innovations of the FireChaser UAS include unprecedented endurance (over 2 hours), extreme long-range (over 50km), fully autonomous takeoff and landing and compliance with current and anticipated Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) regulatory standards.
