MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621030525 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on March 13, for 'apparatus and method for aerial fire barrier construction.'
Inventor(s) include Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Akhilesh Upadhyay; Dr. Bharat Bhati; Gauranvi Pandey; Avinash Jha; and Pankaj Chakariya.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An apparatus (100) for aerial fire barrier construction comprises a plurality of unmanned aerial vehicles (102) including a lead unmanned aerial vehicle and follower unmanned aerial vehicles. The apparatus includes a positioning receiver (104), and a foam dispenser (106) configured to store and dispense expandable fire-resistant foam through a dispensing nozzle (108). A hardware processor (110) controls the lead unmanned aerial vehicle to follow a predetermined waypoint trajectory while dispensing the expandable fire-resistant foam, and controls the follower unmanned aerial vehicles to retain lateral spacing from adjacent unmanned aerial vehicles and dispense the expandable fire-resistant foam with spatial overlap to eliminate gaps. A thermal imaging camera (112) detects gaps in previously constructed barrier sections through temperature differential analysis, and the hardware processor (110) dispatches a selected unmanned aerial vehicle to gap locations to dispense remedial foam to construct continuous vertical fire-resistant foam barriers."
