Hence it is expected that AI-integrated drones will have significant growth in the near future. Active tech companies in the markets this week include Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (CSE: PRT) (OTCQB: PLRTF), Draganfly Inc. (OTCQB: DFLYF) (CSE: DFLY), Drone Delivery Canada Corp. (OTCQX: TAKOF) (TSX-V: FLT.V), Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), AgEagle Aerial Systems, Inc. (NYSE: UAVS).
The global AI in Drone market is geographically analyzed into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World. Asia-Pacific is the hub of drone manufacturers due to which, the demand for advanced technologies is expected to increase in the region. North America leads the market due to the presence of numerous key players in the region followed by Europe which has a few key players to dominate the market.
Plymouth Rock Technologies Inc. (CSE: PRT) (OTCQB: PLRTF) BREAKING NEWS: PLYMOUTH ROCK TECHNOLOGIES FORMS STRATEGIC ALLIANCE WITH HUMMINGBIRD DRONES TO FIGHT WILDFIRE THREATS - Plymouth Rock Technologies ("Plymouth Rock", "PRT", or the "Company"), a leader in the development of cutting-edge threat detection technologies, is pleased to announce a strategic alliance with Hummingbird Drones ("Hummingbird") fire AI. (Artificial Intelligence) for wildfire analysis from PRT's fleet of drones.
Fire AI.is a division of Hummingbird Drones,an infrared service provider in Canada, and has been used as their in-house hotspot detection platform for wildfires for the past three years.
"Live actionable data is precisely what the PRT unmanned aviation platforms were designed to deliver," stated Carl Cagliarini, Chief Strategy Officer of PRT. "This partnership is a further step in our mission centric focus. To date, commercially adapted Drones have used Wi-Fi frequencies with a limited range, usually under 2-3 miles. The X1 has both short-range capabilities, along with an optional military-grade system that enables high bandwidth data feeds up to 60 miles. These capabilities combined with best in class artificial intelligence applications such as fire AI. will deliver essential data when moments matter".
In the pursuit of providing the highest quality of intelligence, Hummingbird developed a wildfire-focused, data analytics software known as fire AI.. Bringing fire AI. to the public provides the global community with the highest quality of wildfire data analytics. Maximizingthe potential of infrared data sets,fire AI.specializes inhigh resolution hotspot maps, providingpreciselocationaldatafor fire crews in pursuit of heat. These aerial maps provide fire managers with higher levels of confidence and fire crews with more effective,accurate data to extinguish and efficiently reallocate resources.
"We believe that the analytic capability of fire AI. combined with the overall capabilities of the Plymouth Rock UAS platform will prove itself as a formidable tool", stated Robert Atwood CEO and Founder at Hummingbird Drones Inc.
Due to the vast data analysis combined with data download constraints of almost all UAS platforms, fire AI. is currently a post-processing service, where the ground is scanned and footage data is removed from the drone and uploaded to the fire AI. portal, which after process delivers fast data analytics results, to the fire management authorities. This service has been an invaluable tool in helping incident commanders and fire crews tackle blazes more effectively. The incorporation of the fire AI. into the X1 and XV platform will involve using this tried and tested method, whilst also utilizing PRT's high speed VPN data capabilities that will enable a connection directly to fire AI. servers to get analytics to the fire fighters as close to real time as possible.
The fire AI. capability will be a standard configuration on all firefighting X1 and XV platforms for immediate benefit. This will include PRT assets deployed within the USA and Australia.Read this and more news for PRT at: https://www.plyrotech.com/news/
