Firefighting Drones
VANTA BOTICS firefighting drones are engineered for wildland incidents and urban high-rise fires, providing real-time aerial intelligence through long-range optics, fire-service thermal imaging, and AI-assisted person detection.
In wildland and WUI operations, firefighting drones deliver continuous thermal fire-edge scanning, early hotspot detection, and automated survivor location in dense terrain or smoke-obscured areas. Geo-referenced thermal video supports ICS command decisions, helping crews prioritize lines and coordinate evacuations with accurate GPS coordinates.
Modular payloads enable high-rise suppression beyond ladder reach, including window-breach extinguishing capsules, directed agent projectiles, and aerial nozzles that connect to standard fire-engine hoselines.
Integrated Firefighting UAV Systems
VANTA BOTICS firefighting drones deliver thermal scanning, hotspot detection, and AI human locating for wildland and WUI missions, while modular high-rise payloads—breach-and-extinguish capsules and aerial water/foam delivery—enable suppression beyond ladder reach with reduced crew risk.
01
Thermal Overwatch
High-resolution thermal sensors deliver fireline and WUI scanning, hotspot mapping, and survivor localization in smoke or dense canopy, giving command continuous visibility over active fire zones.
02
Modular Suppression
Quick-swap payloads support breach-and-extinguish capsules, targeted agent projectiles, and aerial water/foam nozzles for upper-floor and inaccessible-area suppression beyond ladder reach.
03
Heavy-Duty Support
High-capacity platforms carry extinguishing modules, hose lines, and rescue equipment, while long-range geo-referenced video enables command to evaluate spread, exposures, and evacuation routes across extended incidents.
Customizable Firefighting UAV Platforms
VANTA BOTICS provides both electric and fuel-powered firefighting UAV platforms, each fully customizable in frame size, payload capacity, power system, and communication links. All platforms are designed to interface with a shared family of mission modules, allowing agencies to configure aircraft for wildland, WUI, high-rise, and industrial fire operations using the same core architecture.
Electric Power
Light and medium-lift electric UAVs optimized for quieter operation, shorter-range missions, and precise hovering. Ideal for wildland thermal overwatch, hotspot mapping, and urban reconnaissance where low acoustic and thermal signatures are preferred.

Applications
VANTA BOTICS firefighting UAV systems support initial attack, high-rise access, and WUI operations by delivering rapid intel, targeted suppression, and safer firefighter positioning. With 30–150 kg heavy-lift platforms, thermal imaging with sub-meter hotspot resolution, and interchangeable suppression modules—including airburst fire agents, window-access canister launchers, hose-feed spray systems, and dry-chemical tanks—our UAVs operate where ladders, standpipes, and ground crews cannot safely reach.
In wildland and WUI environments, UAVs provide real-time overhead mapping, hotspot confirmation, ignition-source identification, and aerial delivery of suppression agents to remote or wind-driven fire edges. In urban and high-rise incidents, they enable window-level access for targeted suppression, interior-condition assessment, evacuation guidance, and payload-assisted rescue support without exposing crews to structural collapse or inaccessible floors.
