Hello Smart Firefighting Community!

Welcome to another episode of covering real world innovations via interviews with fire service and technology industry experts that empower YOU to develop your very own Smart Firefighting strategy!

In this episode:

What is propulsion technology, and how is SpyDar leading the way?
How does an enclosed propeller system enhance safety and drone operations?
How to collaborate with first responders to design solutions that meet their specific operational needs

Hear from Liza Pierce - the Founder & CEO of SpyDar Sensors.

Liza talks about SpyDar’s groundbreaking propulsion technology designed for UAVs and their involvement in the NIST program.

SpyDar has developed a propulsion system featuring closed ducted fans, enabling vertical takeoff and swift transitions into forward flight. Compared to traditional quadcopters, SpyDar’s technology offers a higher thrust-to-weight ratio and faster speeds, making it an efficient tool for operations requiring heavy payloads.

Safety is a top priority, with the enclosed propeller system allowing for closer proximity to vehicles during operations. Liza also emphasizes SpyDar’s commitment to working closely with first responders to create tailored solutions that improve safety and efficiency.

So take a listen to hear what she has to share!
