PG&E PhotoWhat makes this partnership unique is how it transforms general autonomous flight technology into a targeted wildfire response system. This fully integrated solution enables end-to-end autonomous wildfire response — from early detection, dispatch, and route planning, to takeoff, operations, precise Bambi Bucket drops, and landing. Looking ahead, the goals for autonomous wildfire response are ambitious — but necessary.
