Project Brief

According to statistics from the U.S. Fire Administration and the UCS, there is a growing trend of fire-related death rates and economic losses. The growth in population can compromise the efficiency of fire rescue in the future.

Project Innovation/Need

This auto-deployable drone is aimed to maximize fire-rescue efficiency and eliminate false alarms by executing 4 functions: detecting the fire situation, reporting the fire situation and presence of human in danger, directing the evacuation process and extinguishing the fire. It can be deployed from both interior spaces or fire trucks.


<p>Conceptual Design celebrates the projects that are yet to be realised. They are may be creative ideas, imagined future states or thought pieces intended to start a conversation. This category rewards the blue sky thinking that is needed to drive design forward.</p> <p>All systems are designed to serve a purpose – and that purpose is to serve people. Systems design optimises systems performance by systematically focusing on the human component - human capacities, abilities, limitations and aspirations.</p>
