The best way to attack any fire, highrise or not is to get inside and close, proven since the early days, outside attack is a last resort , high buildings these days don't give you that choice anyway.

Alright all of you need to think about where you are fighting your fire. This is a HIGH-RISE which means that it is going to be windy and wind will in fact push fire into the building. This is not only going to make the fire extremely intense but extremely hard to fight. Before you go spouting your mouth about this or that, why don't you go ask the firemen who have put out these fires, most notably FDNY and LAFD.
Yes, and back in the day the world was flat and Christopher Columbus was insane. Undoubtedly this idea is not without its limitations. What about a system similar to that of the space arm (developed in Canada I might add!) that deployed something similar in concept to the FIT 5? If nothing else, it could serve to turn back the clock and allow the troops to set up properly for their finishing touches. The arm system could work its way around exterior damage and approach from infinite directions.
This system wouldn't function properly (or at all) if a plane or other foreign object crashed into the building, because that would disable the outside structure which the firefighting system is dependent on.
most commercial high rise fires are extremity intense to be able to break the glass. and when the glass is broken the ventilation draws the fire out of the building making it not only easier to extinguish the fire from the inside, but safer and practical too. show me a high rise fire where water is shot in from the outside. when water pushes fire in the building it puts everyone working or occupied the building in great danger and increases fire spread. so...FU!
Secondly,is there also a robotic ventilation system? Other wise this system would depend on self ventilation of the fire in order for the window to be removed.
Sprinklers still seem like the more sensable option. Although the robotic nozzle is interesting, too many moving parts equals increased potential for equipment failure.
only some idiot computer geek who's never fought a fire in his life would think this was good.....if your intention is to burn the building down and kill your attack team...mission accomplished wizard....you should read a book on level 1 firefighting dingbat before you post idiotic horsepoop
not to be an asswhole but from what i have learned Basic firefighting principals especially High Rise's is to attack the fire from Inside the building so you dont push the fire back into the structure. I love this idea, its awsome but from a firefighting stand-point its way safer to attack the fire from inside, unless the building is completly written off with no hope of salvage.
It is because of narow minded people like you that people still die in high rise fires.

Wouldn't this syetm have to wait until the fire broke the glass before hosing down the fire? Isn't that waiting a little too long?
If the machine would brake the glass itself, anyone inside wouldn't appreciate that.

Wouldn't it be a better, cheaper, faster reacting solution to just store water on top of the building with sprinkler heads throughout all the rooms?

How is the window inaccessible?
