NEWS FROM OUR PARTNERS

Deploying Wildfire Sensor Innovation

Last year, a tragic fire occurred on Maui. Earlier this month, Hawai'i Governor, Josh Green, M.D. joined the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) and the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) announced the deployment of an early wildfire detection system so such a disaster won't happen again.

 

TechNexus has long invested in technology for early wildfire detection as a supporting partner in the SCITI program with DHS Science & Technology Directorate (DHS S&T). We have actively engaged in identifying and fostering innovative ventures, incubating cutting-edge technology, prioritizing standout solutions, and managing the day-to-day of the program, including the Hawaii deployment. 

 

Our collaboration with N5 Sensors has resulted in the deployment of N5SHIELD, an innovative wildfire detection system, enhancing early warning capabilities and proactively preventing future wildfires.

 

These sensors are a tool to help communities, especially in fire-prone lands, and are instrumental in building a sustainable future in fire-risk areas. In tackling wildfire detection, TechNexus showcases the power of strategic collaboration to create solutions to real-world challenges.
