Project description
New software to help fight wildfires
Climate change is making wildfires even worse. Not only is the number of fires increasing, they are spreading faster and the wildfire season is getting longer. Firefighting structures are struggling to cope with the unpredictability of wildfires. There are no reliable tools to predict a fire’s dimensions and strength. The EU-funded S2IGI project will support fire management in three principal stages of the process – to prevent and reduce wildfires, organise the management of firefighting, and after-fire recovery. The project will use satellite information, in site auxiliary data and weather predictions to achieve reliable and on time fire forecasts. S2IGI will be distributed as a Software as a Service (SaaS).
Objective
The nowadays worldwide wildfire context is defined by extreme fire behaviour characterised by rapid fire spread, intense burning, and unpredictable shifts causing enormous socio-economic impacts. Problems that faced firefighters are: unreliable early-time fire detection tools; unpredictability of fire ignition and unpredictable behavior of fire. S2IGI is a end-to-end Decision Support System (DSS), that aims to support actions in the three main phases of fire management -1. forest fire prevention and mitigation, 2. event management and 3. post-fire recovery. S2IGI through satellite images, in-situ ancillary data and weather numerical predictions, assures timely and reliable fire forecast information. The principal S2IGI target market are public administrations responsible for fire monitoring, prevention, management and damage mitigation; privates as insurance companies and financial entities are also potential customers. S2IGI was developed by Nurjana Technologies in collaboration with CNR-IBIMET the Aerospace Engineering School of the Sapienza University of Rome (SIA). Nurjana Technologies provides expertises in systems development, real time applications/simulations and programs management for Defense, Aerospace and Space market through a Customer Integrated Project Team approach. The objective of the present project is to prove the commercial potential of the S2IGI system in Europe and worldwide, enhance its growth potential and favors private investment opportunities. 30% of the project cost will be financed by the company own capital. The revenue model is based on annually recurring revenue, which favors customer loyalty and service scalability. S2IGI is distributed as a Software as Service (SaaS). The feasibility assessment will be carried on EU (Mediterranean, Balcanic and Northern) and worldwide countries with the highest fire risk as USA, Canada, Australia and Russia. The expected turnover in 4 years from S2IGI sales is about € 5 M. and a 40% of market share
