The Delphire Sentinel FD3 is an advanced, real-time wildfire detection system offering a rapid 1-mile detection range in all directions and the ability to detect smoke traces beyond 5 miles. In less than 2 minutes from ignition, it autonomously identifies and reports incipient fires through visual and thermal infrared images, providing crucial data for human confirmation. The system includes onboard weather and chemical sensors for environmental monitoring, supporting Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) events with real-time local data relayed via various communication pathways. Field tests confirmed its effectiveness in detecting small plant burns and identifying longer-distance fires, exemplified by a 5+ mile detection in Ramona, CA. The expandable platform integrates AI processing and ensures swift, informed responses to potential threats.

• Hardware + 2 years SaaS Included.
• Data pricing on Cellular included for 2 years.
• Satellite Communications data extra.

Delphire Sentinel gives direct line of sight to assets, cuts detection time down to seconds and visual reporting to a minute. Thus, it can strategize how to attack fires before they have a chance to spread.

The Sentinel FD3 is a wildfire detection system that uses multiple sensors and AI to detect smoke or flames in seconds. It can be deployed in areas with no cellular communications and has a range of up to one mile. The unit is compact and weighs about 10 pounds. It can be powered by a standard power source or by a battery and solar panel. Multiple units may be necessary to cover large areas.

The Delphire Sentinel FD3 was built with the support of a DOE Phase II SBIR award to provide a competitively priced, continuous monitoring system which can scale to address several climate related challenges. These challenges included early detection of ignitions, vegetation management prioritization, remote inspections, and event triggered reporting.
