At the Eastern Economic Forum, the G25 company presented an experimental unmanned complex capable of lifting up to 120 kg to a height of at least 200 meters and delivering extinguishing agent through a fire hose. The development was showcased at the EMERCOM stand.
The complex is based on a quadcopter that lifts a 51 mm diameter fire hose. Through it, the extinguishing compound is supplied to the drone, after which it is directed to the fire source through nozzles. This scheme allows working with fires in high-rise objects and in places difficult for ground fire equipment to reach.
The complex was developed by designers from Arsenyev in cooperation with Moscow partners and EMERCOM specialists. The system includes two drones, a trailer with a compressor, and equipment for delivering extinguishing agent.
The developers have provided several application options. For forests and warehouses, the drone can carry up to 15 extinguishing balls. Another option involves using a ready-made Ratabores fire extinguisher.
Currently, the apparatus remains a prototype and is undergoing flight tests. The tests were paused for the EEF and are planned to resume after the forum concludes.
