Phoenix Force

Summary

The Phoenix Force team is developing TerraGuard, a rugged autonomous rover engineered to patrol wildfire-prone areas and report real-time environmental data. Equipped with temperature, heat-pattern, air-quality, humidity, and pressure sensors, along with a camera and GPS module, the rover delivers continuous situational awareness to firewatch personnel. Data is transmitted through a resilient mesh network to a remote monitoring station. If any parameter surpasses critical safety thresholds, indicating potential fire activity; the system triggers LED and speaker alerts to notify responders, enabling faster, safer decision-making in hazardous environments.
