Pushing the capabilities of drone burning including BVLOS

Raindance will put the new R4 machine through its paces in 2024. With two intense burning programs. We intend to push the boundaries of line of sight (LOS) and beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations in a variety of fuel loads in real-world conditions with different drones and capsule payloads. This will be done in partnership and support from Wilinggin Aboriginal Corporation and Kakadu National Park.

These BVLOS trials will prove burning at scale with drones including the use of hybrid technology. These trials will open the door to an increase in efficient, economical, and safe scale burning options that are currently not available.

OUR PRODUCTS

Aerial Incendiary Systems designed for the harshest environments in the world.

Incendiary Devices

For over 20 years Raindance Systems have been developing Aerial Incendiary Devices. Our current systems are the R3 and R4 Incendiary Devices and they offer many improvements over previous systems, making them the most advanced systems available in the world for use in preventative fire and ecological management, as well as backburning. All our systems are used in a wide range of diverse environments to suit most requirements and operations.

Capsules

Our Incendiary Capsule system is unique in many ways. We make all our Incendiary Capsules in-house, ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process. Each box of Incendiary Capsules contains 1000 incendiaries joined together into a Capsule Belt. This results in a compact box (300mm x 300mm x 150mm or 12” x 12” x 6” for R3 Incendairy Boxes), weighing only 2.2kg (4.8lb).
