Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Colombia’s UNGRD has formalized a national deployment of OroraTech’s satellite wildfire monitoring — the first in Latin America — directly strengthening the country’s National Disaster Risk Management System.
  • OroraTech’s space‑based thermal and perimeter analytics can be integrated with aerial firefighting and tactical operations to accelerate targeting and resource allocation (see the TracPlus–OroraTech aircraft‑tracking integration).
  • This follows other government deployments of OroraTech technology, demonstrating an emerging commercial model for national wildfire surveillance and response (see the Idaho statewide rollout) and sits alongside growing regional space activity highlighted at LATSAT 2025.
