Rain Industries

Rain builds autonomy and wildfire-intelligence systems that let aircraft detect, assess and suppress wildfires in their earliest stages. Its technology adapts existing military and civil aircraft, including helicopters, so they can be prepositioned in high-risk areas and dispatched by existing fire-detection systems. It works with fire agencies and has run autonomous water-drop demonstrations with Sikorsky.
