Very little info on how the technology works https://www.skywardw...tion_technology

 

I presume they send a drone into the storm cell? Looks like it uses AI to predict storm cells most likely to cause lightning.

Very few lightning strikes actually start forest fires, with research indicating that in many regions of Canada, less than one in 200 (or less than 0.5%) of strikes result in a wildfire. Despite this, lightning is responsible for the vast majority of total area burned, often accounting for 85% to 93% of the burned area in Canada. [1, 2, 3]
