Look, the use case might be presented as ignition suppression, but I can see this being much more useful for a different use case.

I was involved with the Caldor fire near Lake Tahoe, California. That fire had a massive line put in for days, but a big wind caused multiple ignitions behind the line at night. The wind and the night prevented aircraft from flying. But drones like these could have flown. And they could have managed the tough terrain. And they could have suppressed the spot fires beyond the line, and helped that line to hold. And that would have meant potentially saving a city. Don't get me wrong, South Lake Tahoe survived due to hard work and a lot of luck, but as we know entire cities are burning and the loss of that line wiped entire neighborhoods off the map. These machines need to be scaled up to handle significant suppression requirements — something far bigger than these drones capable of helping hold a line and work in difficult conditions. I don't think small drones are it. But precision delivery, and the fact that you get immediate feedback on the effectiveness of the suppression from the drone, could be really incredible.
