brief

BRIEF

'Introduce a drone in the Fire-fighting Universe.'

PROCESS

process

We got the opportunity to meet the firefighters at SDIS Nord, Anzin.

THE SCENARIO

After meeting with the fire fighters in Anzin, we analysed the scenario and pinpointed the major opportunity area to create the most positive impact.

MANEUVERABILITY

PRIORITY

NAVIGATE A WAY

TIME SAVING

RESISTANT TO THE ENVIRONMENT

We then researched various Existing* Technologies that could be applied to the drone to come up with the most realistic solution.

final design

'Horus’ is the drone itself provided per duo.

EXPERIENCE

3-WAY SOLUTION

PRODUCT

SYSTEM

The family of products work in synergy to help the firefighters navigate their way inside the building, find the victim and exit fast.

This new age fire-fighting system would be placed on each floor of a big building. Using a hyper-frequency radar, it detects the number of people on the building and sends this data to the firefighters in real time.

An AR pair of goggles connected to the drone and fire alarm provided to each firefighter.

Hyper frequency detection

Central Hub

A NEW PROTOCOL

EXPERIENCE

The next generation of optimum safety fire alarm systems.

Established by the city council.

All corridors to ensure the safety of the whole building.

SYSTEM

An ally in the pockets of the firemen.

One drone per duo.

Semi autonomous.

Integrated on the present day gear

PRODUCT

Immersive scouting experience

Augmented information in a real environment

Voice command

'FIRST PERSON' VIEW

This is the view from inside the Augmented Reality glasses that are provided to each firefighter

Our major priority was to create a solution that is pragmatic and so we engineered the drone from the inside out by designing the package and placement of components including the foldable propellers, batteries, hyper frequency radar, etc. first, and then the body around it.
