On Monday, the four companies said they’re forming a new venture called Emberpoint to advance technology while making wildfire prevention more affordable. “The ultimate vision is, you know, eliminating megafires in the United States, and maybe beyond that,” said Jim Taiclet, Lockheed Martin’s chief executive, president and chairman, in an interview. Lockheed Martin has teamed up with tech companies before to help battle wildfires. And Lockheed Martin has built satellites that help U.S. forecasters get images of wildfires, hurricanes and severe weather conditions.
