This equipment is equipped with both standard and thermal imaging cameras, enabling surveillance and monitoring operations in both daytime and nighttime conditions. Its use significantly enhances early wildfire detection capabilities, as well as supporting search and rescue operations through the collection of real-time data, which is essential for decision-making in emergency scenarios.
Although operated by the Almodôvar Firefighters, the drone will have a regional scope, promoting a more effective, integrated and coordinated response among the various civil protection agents across the territory.
This initiative is part of the FRED Project’s strategy to strengthen operational capacity and interinstitutional cooperation, through the integration of innovative technologies such as unmanned aerial systems (UAS), in the prevention and mitigation of climate change impacts, particularly in wildfire management.
✨ Investing in innovation and technology means investing in the protection of the territory and the safety of communities, fostering more resilient regions prepared for future challenges. 🔥🌱
