Rain, a leader in aerial wildfire containment technology, is helping fire agencies more rapidly respond to wildfires during the earliest stages of ignition. Rain adapts autonomous aircraft with the intelligence to perceive, understand, and suppress wildfires, enabling numerous aircraft to be prepositioned in remote locations—resulting in accelerated response time.
