Korean Air and Anduril have announced a collaborative initiative to develop new solutions for global wildfire management. According to Anduril, the partnership is intended to combine Korean Air’s expertise in unmanned systems with Anduril’s technological capabilities to improve the speed and effectiveness of wildfire detection and response.

The program will explore the integration of distributed sensors and autonomous systems to provide real‑time situational awareness. Anduril explained that their Lattice operating system will act as the central hub to fuse data from multiple sources, enabling coordinated deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles and other assets.

Korean Air will contribute its unmanned aerial capabilities to the effort, allowing for rapid inspection and assessment of wildfire incidents. The combined systems aim to detect ignition events early and assist response teams in planning targeted interventions.

The announcement notes that such a system could reduce the time between detection and active response, potentially limiting fire spread and improving safety for affected communities. Both companies see this collaboration as a step toward leveraging autonomy and advanced sensor networks to address increasingly frequent wildfire events worldwide.
