A compact, precise, and user-fillable firefighting payload for aerial first response.
In modern industrial environments, the ability to react quickly to a fire outbreak is critical. Factories, logistics hubs, power infrastructures, and large storage areas all face situations where a fire may start in a location that is difficult or slow to reach using traditional ground equipment. Rooftops, restricted zones, elevated machinery and isolated pipes often create dangerous or inaccessible environments for firefighters.
To address this gap, Digital Eagle has developed a firefighting extinguisher module designed specifically for UAV integration and fully compatible with the SK-XF07. This compact system uses a high-pressure tank and a long hose to apply extinguishing powder or liquid directly where it is needed, without exposing personnel to risk. Simply fill the tank with your preferred, locally-sourced chemical powder.
The module includes an 8-liter HP295 tank with a total module weight of 10 kg. It supports filling pressures of ≥ 1.2 MPa and attaches to the drone using a quick-mounting installation system that allows fast switching between missions.
Operators trigger the extinguishing agent with a single button from the safety of their ground control station. When required, the dry powder spraying head can be replaced with a liquid spraying device or a four-shot fire extinguishing bomb launcher. A 2.5-meter spray pipe connects the tank to the nozzle, ensuring the drone can hover at a safe distance while delivering the extinguishing agent precisely onto the target.
The module is engineered specifically to integrate smoothly with the SK-XF07 drone platform. Once mounted, it connects to the aircraft’s wireless control interface, allowing the operator to trigger discharge instantly from the ground station. The weight distribution remains well balanced, enabling the drone to maintain stable hover performance during suppression.
The quick-mount design also ensures that teams can prepare the aircraft rapidly, refill the tank between missions, and switch configurations without tools or delays.
A major advantage of this module is the freedom it gives to the user. The 8 L HP295 tank can be filled with any dry chemical powder approved for the required Class A, B, or C application, depending on the specific industrial or regulatory context. This avoids the need for pre-filled canisters and enables operators to use locally sourced fire agents that already match their internal safety standards.
The filling process is straightforward: once the tank is loaded with powder and pressurized at ≥ 1.2 MPa, the module is ready for deployment. The system is designed for fast turnaround, meaning that the drone can conduct several missions within a short period if necessary.
Using the module in real conditions is simple and intuitive. Before flight, the operator mounts the tank onto the SK-XF07, checks the pressure, and connects the wireless trigger. The drone is then launched and navigated to the fire source, where it positions itself at a controlled distance from the flames. Thanks to the 2.5-meter spray hose, the nozzle can be directed close to the ignition point while the aircraft itself remains safely away from direct heat or rising smoke.
When the operator presses the activation button, the extinguishing agent is released in a controlled, focused spray. The system supports both short bursts and continuous spraying depending on the intensity of the fire. After the agent is applied, the operator visually confirms extinguishment or uses onboard cameras to verify the area before returning for refill.
The base module supports more than one method of extinguishing. For standard missions, the dry powder spraying head is installed. For scenarios where water-based agents are more appropriate, the spraying device can be replaced with a liquid-spray configuration. In more specialized cases — such as elevated ignition points, enclosed spaces, or remote areas — the module can alternatively mount a four-shot fire extinguishing bomb launcher.
All variants use the same quick-mount interface, making configuration changes fast and predictable.
This system is particularly effective in industrial environments where fires can begin near machinery, pipes, ducts, or elevated structures that are difficult to reach immediately.
In large logistics centers, the drone can arrive at the ignition point within seconds of a sensor alarm, reducing the risk of escalation. On rooftops, where solar panels or electrical boxes may catch fire, the drone offers a rapid way to slow or stop the spread while ground teams are en route. The module is also valuable in fenced or restricted compounds where vehicles cannot enter quickly. In these scenarios, the SK-XF07 and its firefighting module together provide a controlled, fast, and safe first response.
To ensure consistent performance, operators should follow a few simple handling guidelines. The tank must be filled to the appropriate pressure and kept free from contamination. The hose, valves, and seals should be visually inspected after each mission to confirm that no particles or residue have accumulated. Storing the tank in a clean and dry location prevents humidity from affecting powder performance.
Routine maintenance is equally straightforward. Cleaning the nozzle, checking hose integrity, verifying valve closure, and ensuring the pressure gauge is accurate are typically sufficient after each deployment. With these minimal steps, the module remains reliable and ready for frequent use.
Although the system is easy to operate, teams benefit from structured training. Operators should practice stable hovering near structures, learn to adjust the drone’s position based on airflow or rising heat, and train in controlled environments using inert agents before moving to real extinguishing missions. Training also includes retreat and safety procedures to ensure that the drone maintains proper separation from the fire source at all times.
In a typical workflow, sensors detect smoke or heat and trigger an alert. The drone is prepared immediately and launched with the extinguishing module attached. After reaching the scene, it applies the agent directly onto the ignition point and then returns for inspection and refilling. This process integrates seamlessly into existing fire-response plans and provides valuable early intervention before ground teams arrive.
The module offers a combination of speed, precision, and operational freedom. Its 10 kg weight and compact structure allow the SK-XF07 to remain highly maneuverable even with a full tank. The 2.5-meter hose ensures accurate targeting, and the wireless one-button activation reduces complexity for the operator. Since the tank is refillable with user-selected powders, organizations can standardize their extinguishing materials across multiple sites, reducing both cost and complexity.
Because the HP295 tank is reusable and refillable, it reduces waste and simplifies supply chains. Users can source powders locally, lowering transport requirements. The ability to use only the necessary amount of agent through targeted spraying also minimizes environmental impact compared to more dispersed extinguishing methods.
Implementing the SK-XF07 firefighting module involves defining mission needs, selecting the appropriate configuration, and establishing clear refilling and maintenance procedures. Training personnel and integrating activation steps into existing industrial emergency plans ensures that the system delivers maximum effectiveness. Digital Eagle provides technical documentation to support smooth implementation.
