Satellite Wildfire Detection Trial

Buyer: Arkansas Forestry Division

Awardee

OroraTech

Details

OroraTech announced (July 14, 2026) the conclusion of a pilot with the Arkansas Department of Agriculture, Forestry Division using satellite thermal intelligence for fire detection, prescribed-burn monitoring, arson investigation support and crew-safety analysis, including post-incident analysis of the 2025 Pond Fire. No contract value was disclosed; the parties say they are exploring further partnerships.

Trial/pilot rather than a procured contract; OroraTech's July 21, 2026 release announces completion of the Arkansas Forestry Division trial and says follow-on work is only being 'explored'. No contract value, trial fee or term is disclosed. For scale, Idaho paid $150,000 for a comparable one-year OroraTech demo, but that figure belongs to Idaho and must not be applied here.
