As fires rage across Australia, devastating regions and endangering wildlife, drones and related technologies have stepped up to help first response teams to combat and mitigate loss from the deadly flames. One such company is Edgybees, AR software platform that overlays key geo-spatial information onto live drone feeds to produce situational awareness in any environment. Edgybees co-founder and chief technology officer Menashe Haskin recently said, “We are currently demonstrating the technology in New South Wales. There is still no contract or sale. We said, take it, use it for a month and see if it works for you, and then when the fires have been put out, I hope they will decide to continue using it.”
