Project Prometheus aims to combat wildfires through early detection using low cost, solar powered, mass deployable sensor modules that communicate via LoRA. Data collected from these modules will be aggregated by an overhead UAV, where a series of advanced machine learning models are employed to analyze sensor data, in combination with local weather station data in order to provide a proactive approach to wildfire management, enabling timely intervention and mitigating property and environmental damage
