Pano AI launches drone partner program for wildfire response

Pano AI has introduced a Drone Partner Program designed to connect its AI-powered wildfire detection platform directly with autonomous aircraft and drone systems. Announced at the Red Sky Summit in San Francisco, the initiative aims to accelerate fire suppression by sending verified wildfire detections and triangulated coordinates straight to aerial responders, bypassing traditional dispatch delays.

The program launched with four inaugural partners: Seneca, Rain, BRINC, and Censys Technologies. These partners cover various sectors, including autonomous suppression and public-safety drone operations. The integration is facilitated through Pano’s Incident API, which allows for standardized communication between detection cameras and drone operators.

Pano AI reports that its platform currently protects more than 95 million acres across 18 U.S. states. In 2025, the company’s technology alerted on 735 vegetation fires, claiming to be the first known alert approximately 60 percent of the time.
