As bushfires grow more frequent and complex, the need for integrated, science-driven solutions has never been greater.

This year’s report showcases how the Bushfire Research Centre of Excellence, through partnerships across government, emergency services, research, and industry, is demonstrating and developing the technologies that will underpin a more intelligent and connected fire management system for Australia.

From AI smoke detection and drones for early verification, to satellite-based fuel moisture mapping and lightning ignition modelling, our work is helping to show what’s possible, paving the way for agencies and industry to deploy these innovations at scale.

A heartfelt thank you to all our collaborators, partners, and supporters who make this possible. Together, we’re shaping a smarter, safer, and more proactive future for living with fire.
