Systems and methods to detect motion on sloped surfaces
Systems and methods are described to identify motion events on a sloped surface, such as a mountainside, using transmitted and received radio frequency (RF) chirps. A one-dimensional array of receive antennas can be digitally beamformed to determine azimuth information of received reflected chirps. Elevation information can be determined based on time-of-flight measurements of received reflected chirps and known distances to locations on the sloped surface. Motion events may be characterized by deviations in return power levels and/or return phase shifts. The systems and methods may, for example, be used to provide real-time detection of avalanches and/or landslides.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING HIGH-RISK LIGHTNING STRIKES FOR USE IN PREDICTING AND IDENTIFYING WILDFIRE IGNITION LOCATIONS
A system and method for detecting in real-time high risk lightning (HRL) strikes and sending out alerts to responsible personnel to allow for earlier responses to lightning caused fire ignitions to help maintain and/or reduce the chance of spread by the wildfire. The system and method allow for HRL events and fire ignitions to be detected preferably within seconds. The system and method can use a network of detectors, data from environmental satellites and/or other environmental data sources, and novel AI/algorithms for signal processing to relatively quickly locate fire ignition spots. Thus, the system and method provide for actionable wildfire intelligence in real-time and to relatively quickly and accurately send out alerts when an HRL event has been determined. Cameras and drones can be used to provide real-time visualization at the location of the HRL event to verify or monitor any fire ignition or smoldering at the area of the HRL event.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR FORECASTING AND ASSESSING HAZARD-RESULTANT EFFECTS
Hazard-resultant effects to land and buildings are predicted based on various inputs. Hazards may include any appropriate type of hazard (e.g., flood, wildfire, climate-related hazards, or the like). Inputs may include the likelihood that that a specific type of hazard may occur for various scenarios, terrestrial boundaries, property boundaries, census geographies, or the like. Relationships between the inputs are determined and used to quantify parameters pertaining to a specific type of hazard. For example, the depth of flood water may be predicted for a particular terrestrial boundary, a city or town, or a building, for specific climate scenarios. A risk likelihood of the quantified parameter may be determined for a particular period of time and environment. For example, flooding to a building may be determined, broken down by depth threshold and year of annual risk for specific climate scenarios. Economic loss also may be predicted.
