Seneca develops advanced artificial intelligence, robotics, and autonomous systems to help prevent wildfires from becoming destructive disasters. Working with fire agencies, utilities, real estate developers, homeowners’ associations, and commercial operators, the company aims to protect communities, property, infrastructure, and ecosystems through faster detection and targeted suppression.

Its first product is an autonomous rapid-response fire suppression drone system: a complete hardware, software, and AI platform designed to support firefighters in situations that may be unsafe, inefficient, or impossible for crews to handle directly. A single pilot can control multiple craft carrying Class A foam, using infrared and video sensors to identify heat, target hot spots, and verify suppression. The portable systems can be stationed in high-risk locations and deployed from varied sites.

Seneca’s technology is intended for initial wildfire response, property defense, utility and solar infrastructure patrol, and aerial support for prescribed burns. Drones can launch from nearby docks, inspect areas for signs of fire, apply suppressant, and send live video and location data to operators.
