Q.SYSTEM: an aerial firefighting technology focused on disaster management

Rodrigo Mendes on February 4, 2025

Hightek’s Q.SYSTEM is an aerial firefighting technology focused on disaster management. It autonomously detects, monitors, plans, and suppresses wildfires by combining heavy-lift UAVs, ground monitoring systems, and data-driven prediction tools. The system supports pilots and decision-makers with real-time wildfire data. It automatically leverages data collected during water-bombing flights, eliminating additional costs for dedicated surveillance. In addition, the system has Q.FLY, a multi-camera aerial vision system, and Q.WEB, a cloud-based disaster management platform. Watch this video to learn more.
