Abstract:
An autonomous firefighting tower is a structure that is deployed into a firefighting zone for extinguishing a fire as well as for protecting firefighting personnel on the ground. The structure is able to self-level when being deployed on uneven terrain and requires minimal setup aside from connection to an external water source. A plurality of tower supports is hingedly connected to a base platform and may be adjusted to the terrain. Additional adjustability is provided through a plurality of self-leveling legs. A plurality of stabilizing members provides structural support and stability to the structure during self-leveling and when deployed. A fluid dispenser is connected to the base platform. Water is provided to the fluid dispenser from an external source through a fluid conduit. A control unit and at least one camera allow a remote operator to operate the structure during a firefighting operation.
