SWIRFIRE PROJECT

SWIRFIRE is an innovative project that is developing an advanced system of ultra-compact shortwave infrared (SWIR) cameras for drones (UAVs). These cameras, equipped with state-of-the-art colloidal quantum dot (CQD) technology, enable the detection and recognition of objects in very low visibility conditions.

The consortium responsible for the project includes ASE, IMASENIC, QURV, and RTS, each contributing their expertise in optics, sensors, UAV platforms, and project coordination.

The SWIRFIRE project contributes to:

Forest fire prevention and detection: Early, efficient and accurate detection of forest fires, reducing damage and greenhouse gas emissions.

Precision agriculture: Crop monitoring and optimisation of resource use.

Environmental monitoring: Water and air quality monitoring, soil analysis and biodiversity protection.

Circular economy: CQD technology and the efficiency of the optical system contribute to the reduction of the energy footprint.

In short, it enables critical environmental challenges to be addressed with high efficiency and low energy and resource expenditure.

SWIRFIRE represents a major breakthrough in SWIR technology, opening up new possibilities for environmental monitoring and the protection of our planet. Furthermore, it not only improves safety and efficiency in various applications, but also promotes environmental sustainability and the circular economy. ASE is proud to be part of the consortium that will carry out such a significant project.
