Primoco UAV selects Overwatch Imaging for Wildfire Intelligence and Mapping capabilities

September 22, 2025 – Hood River, Oregon / Prague, Czech Republic – Overwatch Imaging, a leader in advanced airborne imaging systems, has been selected by Czech UAV manufacturer Primoco to equip its One 150 UAV with autonomous, real-time image intelligence capabilities for wildfire response and wide-area mapping missions in Southern Europe for a government operator.

Primoco will integrate the Overwatch Imaging TK-7 Smart Sensor onto its flagship One 150 platform, pairing the aircraft’s exceptional payload capacity and long-range endurance with Overwatch Imaging’s automated, multispectral imaging technology. This powerful combination delivers rapid, edge-processed intelligence directly to first responders, enabling fire brigades to detect, map, and monitor wildfires across hundreds of square kilometers in real time, even in communication-limited environments.

“Wildfire agencies around the world are seeking tools that reduce response times, increase the likelihood of catching fires while they’re small, and deliver actionable intelligence in real-time directly to the field,” said Greg Davis, CEO of Overwatch Imaging. “By integrating our Smart Sensor onto Primoco’s proven One 150 aircraft, we’re empowering fire brigades with a turnkey solution that expands situational awareness and supports faster, more informed decision making.”  

TK-7 Smart Sensor Real-Tim Wildfire Intelligence Capabilities

With approval to fly in 15 EU countries, the Primoco One 150 is a long-range, multi-payload UAS capable of fully autonomous operation. It provides the ideal platform for Overwatch Imaging’s high-resolution, wide-area mapping capabilities. Together, the system will support real-time fire perimeter mapping, hotspot detection, damage assessment and rapid data delivery to command centers and ground crews. The extended approvals of Primoco One 150 allow for day and night missions to deliver unparalleled situational awareness for fire fighters.

Ladislav Semetkovsky, CEO of Primoco, added, “The One 150 UAV is the only uncrewed platform in the world approved to fly in half of Europe, with other countries pending. Our LUC approval privileges are the widest in the class and allow us to fly day or night over populated areas, or in certain cases even in non-restricted airspace. The unparalleled deployment capability, matched with the advanced sensor capabilities of the TK-7, will be an extremely powerful tool for fire mapping, preventive monitoring and wide-area situational awareness.”

This integration marks growing momentum in the role of unmanned aerial systems in European disaster response operations.  By working with Overwatch Imaging, Primoco is bringing a proven, industry gold-standard capability to European responders, reinforcing a shared commitment to delivering impactful intelligence to the agencies, crews and decision-makers who need it most.
