## Resource

Greece just launched a game-changing wildfire defense system using four new satellites that spot fires as small as four meters wide—thanks to advanced thermal sensors and AI that filters out false alarms. This tech, integrated into the national firefighting network, gives commanders real-time intel on fire size, location, and intensity, helping them tackle multiple blazes efficiently. Developed after the deadly 2018 fires that killed over 100, the system is part of Greece’s broader tech overhaul—and a key step toward European tech sovereignty. With rising heatwaves and fire risks, the satellites also help build smarter fire spread models, especially in remote areas. Future plans include using similar tech for border control, farming, and disaster response, all backed by new funding to make Greece’s crisis response faster and more autonomous.
