XPRIZE Wildfire winners spotted fires within 10 min—but couldn’t stop them
Results of the $11 million XPRIZE Wildfire competition left both grand prizes unawarded. The space detection track required identifying fires across a large Australian area within 10 minutes; SIRIUS Wildfire Alliance won a $500,000 first-place award. In the autonomous response track, tested across 386 square miles in Alaska, all three finalists detected high-risk fires within 10 minutes, but none completely extinguished them.
