The NSW Government has established the Bushfire Technology Pilots Program (BTPP) under the NSW Bushfire Response R&D Mission to enable both existing commercial and new bushfire technologies to be fielded and evaluated by frontline NSW bushfire services.
The objective of the BTPP is to enable businesses to:
- commercialise field-ready technology for bushfire-related applications through the trial or pilot of technology with end-user agencies in NSW
- improve end-user agencies' awareness of innovation possibilities in bushfire management and operations through exposure to new technology.
Bushfire Technology Pilots Program Round Two Recipients
The second round of the BTPP provided funding to 10 companies to work with NSW Government agencies to pilot their technology. Further details can be found at the link below.
Bushfire Technology Pilots Program Round One Recipients
The first round of the BTPP provided funding to five companies to work with NSW Government agencies to pilot their technology. Further details can be found at the link below.
The round one of the BTPP received coverage on Channel 7 news. The video can be viewed below.
