This includes ACC’s renowned Ultra Heavy-Lift, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), across North America. This partnership also marks the beginning of joint product development efforts aimed at enhancing the company’s long endurance, ultra heavy-lift Quadcopter — the Thunder Wasp UAS — to be wildfire-ready.
ACC Innovation is a leading Swedish UAS and robotics manufacturer with close to 40 years of industry expertise, standing as a pioneer in the industry. Their advanced technology is now complemented by FireSwarm’s expertise in aviation, emergency management, swarm AI intelligence and aerial fire suppression solutions.
This collaboration positions both companies at the forefront of automated, aerial fire suppression technology, setting the stage for future global leadership in this critical field to support and complement current aerial firefighting assets.
Key benefits of the partnership include:
Enhanced Market Reach
FireSwarm Solutions will leverage its presence in North America to distribute ACC Innovation’s full range of products, including UAS Quadcopters and other advanced drone solutions. This strategic move will expand the availability of cutting-edge technology for fire suppression in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico.
Innovative Product Development
FireSwarm and ACC Innovation are joining forces to adapt the Thunder Wasp UAS Quadcopter, capable of carrying up to 350 kg (770 lb) payloads, to meet the unique challenges of wildfire environments including in heavy smoke and at night when current aerial firefighting assets are grounded.
The company’s goal is to ensure the technology is fully optimized with hardware and patent-pending Swarm AI Intelligence for precise, effective and efficient fire management.
Global Leadership
This partnership not only strengthens the position of both FireSwarm and ACC Innovation in North America but also sets the foundation for future expansion into global markets. The combined expertise and resources of both companies are poised to redefine the standards of automated aerial fire suppression worldwide.
