Sikorsky helicopters and autonomous aerial wildfire containment technology company Rain recently demonstrated that pilots don’t have to be in the cockpit to fight fires with precision.
On October 29, a Sikorsky Black Hawk outfitted with Matrix flight autonomy technology and Rain’s Wildfire Mission Autonomy System was used to conduct an aerial water drop during a Rapid Wildfire Response Demonstration at Sikorsky’s headquarters in Stratford, Connecticut.
