Detection & fire-front mitigation
Sweep a whole valley at once, spot new ignitions early and keep incident command updated as the front moves.
Swarm intelligence software
One operator.
A whole fleet in the air.
Aithir lets a single operator plan, launch and supervise many drones at once. Swarm intelligence handles the coordination. The operator keeps the decisions.
The problem
Drone operations don't scale one pilot at a time.
Today most drones fly with one pilot each. Forests, national grids and active wildfires span far more ground than one aircraft can watch. Adding drones means adding pilots, and that runs out fast during an incident.
Aithir changes the ratio. One trained operator directs a coordinated fleet, and each aircraft knows its share of the task using swarm intelligence.

With Aithir
1 : many
1 : many
Same operator. Many times the coverage.
Missions
Built for wide areas and long nights.
Aithir is shaped by the crews who use it: firefighters, utility teams and emergency services who need eyes on large areas, fast.
After-dark operations
Keep thermal coverage going overnight, when crewed aircraft are grounded and fires often change behaviour.
Grid & asset patrols
Inspect long runs of transmission line and substations in one sortie, and flag hotspots and vegetation risk.
Heavy-lift & shared airspace
Coordinate high-payload UAVs for supply runs, and work safely alongside crewed aircraft over an incident.
How it works
Set the task. The swarm works it out.
STEP 1
Draw the area
Mark a perimeter, a line route or a set of assets on the map, and choose what the mission should capture.
STEP 2
Assign the fleet
Aithir splits the work across available aircraft and plans safe spacing across different layers of autonomy.
STEP 3
Supervise and step in
Watch live feeds and alerts from one screen. Retask a single drone or the whole fleet at any moment.
1 : N
More coverage, same crew
Grow area coverage without hiring and training a pilot for every aircraft.
Adaptive Autonomy
Mission driven
Set the level of autonomy each customer needs, from human-in-the-loop control to fully autonomous operation.
24 h
Day and night
Hold persistent watch through the night with rotating aircraft.
Live
Faster picture
Feed timely data to incident command and asset owners as it is captured.
In the field
Shaped by the people who'll fly it.
We build alongside fire services and emergency responders. Here's what they keep asking for.
Multi-drone operations, above all at night, when visibility drops and crews are stretched.
Swarming for high-payload aircraft to support logistics on large incidents.
Drone fleets that cooperate safely with crewed helicopters and planes over a fire.
