Step Forward in Firefighting!

This August UVR LLC specialists tested a new payload for the unmanned aerial vehicle “SAKAVIK” – a fire extinguishing system.

This system is designed to extinguish fires in open areas. It is a device that holds 4 capsules with a flame-extinguishing composition, each with a volume of 25 liters, on the external suspension of the UAV. The capsules can be dropped on operator’s command when the UAV hovers at an altitude of 50 m above the fire source and are activated at a preset altitude of 0 to 5 m above the surface, releasing a multicomponent liquid that prevents the spread of flame. Each capsule is capable of extinguishing a flame on an area of ​​up to 9 sq.m.

This fire extinguishing system has a potential for use in extinguishing wild fires in forests, fields and industrial facilities.
