The Green Dragon (patent pending) is an automated ground launcher designed and engineered for use in forestry and wildfire management applications such as back burning or prescribed burning. As a CO2 or compressed air propelled, fully-automatic fire ignition tool, the Green Dragon offers a variable firing rate that can be adjusted for shooting spheres up to 225 feet.

Utilizing the same Dragon Egg delayed chemical ignition spheres as its cousin, the helicopter-deployed Red Dragon, the Green Dragon can be mounted on several ground-based platforms including trucks, boats, ATVs and UTVs.
The Green Dragon provides a second-generation option compared to the existing Pyroshot hand-launcher. While the Pyroshot hand-launcher is operated manually, the Green Dragon is a fully automated machine that incorporates upgraded technology and user-friendly features improving safety and performance in the field.
