Competition

XPRIZE Wildfire is a 4-year, $11 million competition incentivizing the innovation of firefighting technologies that will end destructive wildfires so that humanity and beneficial wildfire can safely co-exist. The prize aims to transform current wildfire management approaches through the development of new technologies that can rapidly and accurately detect, characterize, and respond to wildfires before they become destructive.
FLARE-X is a collaboration between The University of Texas at Austin (UT’s Jackson School of Geosciences and Cockrell School of Engineering), University of Southampton, University of Edinburgh, TU Delft and Texas A&M Forest Service.
