TDS “Vhagar” Drone
Fuel Reduction Burning
Our Aerial Drip Torch and Incendiary Drones remotely execute targeted fuel reduction burns in vulnerable land areas to reduce the risk of bushfire disaster. We collaborate with ground crews to quickly map proposed areas before burning, identifying potential hotspots.
We then deploy either our “Ignis” or Aerial Drip Torch Drone to precisely target areas prone to wildfires. Our method is not only safer but also protects local species and vegetation, reducing environmental damage.
Drone Features
Advanced Mapping Capabilities
We use advanced mapping to assess areas before controlled burns, accurately evaluating risks to local flora and fauna.
By mapping terrain and vegetation beforehand, we ensure precise and environmentally considerate operations. This approach enhances safety during burns and promotes responsible land management, preserving biodiversity and ecological balance.
Thermal Imaging
We use advanced thermal imaging to identify hotspots after controlled burns. By detecting elevated temperatures, we assess burn effectiveness and monitor re-ignition risks.
This data helps us quickly mitigate fire threats and aid ecosystem recovery. Thermal imaging improves burn assessment and supports sustainable land management.
Ignis Drone
We drop a payload of ping-pong ball-sized ignition spheres filled with potassium permanganate. Before being dropped to the ground, individual spheres are injected with ethylene glycol starting a chemical reaction that causes them to ignite some 30-40 seconds later.
Vhagar
‘Vhagar’ TDS’ Custom Aerial Drip Torch Drone can complement the Ignis or operate independently. This innovative drone is equipped to remotely release a flammable liquid, which ignites immediately.
This capability allows for controlled and targeted ignition of areas that require a hotter flame, aiding in controlled burns, fire management, and vegetation control efforts.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is the max flight time?
Vhagar has a maximum flight time of 1 hour without payload and 30 minutes with full payload.
What is the capacity of the drone and flow rate?
Vhagar holds up to 20 litres of liquid napalm and releases it at a flow rate of 7-8 litres per minute, ensuring efficient and rapid ignition upon ground impact.
This can also be adapted to client needs.
Why would I need a drip torch drone over ignis balls?
Vhagar allows for burning in unfavorable conditions in shoulder seasons and allows to burn denser fuels that the balls can’t ignite.
