As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of many natural disasters, NASA Aeronautics and its partners seek ideas for technologies that can be onboarded to improve aerial disaster management efforts immediately and into the next approximately 10 years.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aviation technologies have the potential to aid in disaster relief, assist in firefighting missions, and provide supplies to hard-to-reach areas during an emergency event. Many emergency response professionals believe there is no one proposed concept that will be applicable for all different natural disasters or can be applied to all phases of management, opening this competition to a wide range of possibilities. New technologies and applications gained from this crowdsourced competition may be developed further by NASA for use in coordinating and facilitating disaster management.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953540566_82e2c18348_k.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953540566_82e2c18348_k.jpg?w=320\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"NASA Aeronautics TACP Director John Cavolowsky addresses 2023 Gateways to Blue Skies participants at the Awards Ceremony.\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953540566_82e2c18348_k.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953540566_82e2c18348_k.jpg?resize=300,225 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">NASA Aeronautics\u2019 Transformative Aerospace Concepts Program Director John Cavolowsky addresses 2023 Gateways to Blue Skies participants at the Awards Ceremony concluding the Clean Aviation Energy competition held at Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH in June 2023.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NIA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cNatural disaster poses real threats to society, the economy, and the lives of individuals and communities \u2013 not to mention the health of the planet. There are significant innovation opportunities within aviation to support the future needs of disaster management: to provide more timely and actionable information, reduce the risks and workload posed to emergency responders, to provide new cost-effective technologies that improve efficiency of the preparation, response, and recovery \u2013 often at a much larger scale and at a much faster pace than are required for solving ordinary problems,\u201d said Dr. Marcus Johnson, project manager in the Aeronautics Directorate at NASA Ames Research Center and 2024 Blue Skies co-chair. \u201cI am very much looking forward to seeing the ideas that stem from this year\u2019s Gateways to Blue Skies contenders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-none \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953529601_391b5fd8b3_k.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953529601_391b5fd8b3_k.jpg?w=320\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"2023 First Place Winner Boston University team members discuss their clean aviation energy concept with NASA judges\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953529601_391b5fd8b3_k.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/52953529601_391b5fd8b3_k.jpg?resize=300,233 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">2023 First Place Winner Boston University team members discuss their clean aviation energy concept with NASA judges during the 2023 Gateways to Blue Skies Forum poster session held at Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, OH in June 2023.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">NIA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Sponsored by NASA\u2019s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate\u2019s (ARMD\u2019s) University Innovation (UI) Project, Blue Skies encourages diverse, multi-disciplinary teams of college students to conceptualize unique systems-level ideas and analysis to an aviation-themed problem identified annually. It aims to engage as many students as possible \u2013 from all backgrounds and collegiate levels, freshman to graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this competition, participating students in teams of two to six will select a system or systems that can be applied to a specific use case in one type of natural disaster and disaster management phase. Competitors must choose technologies that can achieve high technology readiness by 2035.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams will submit concepts in a five-to-seven page proposal and accompanying two-minute video, which will be judged in a competitive review process by NASA and industry experts. Up to eight finalist teams will receive up to $8,000 each to continue their research to develop a final research paper and infographic, and to attend the 2024 Gateways to Blue Skies Forum to be held in June 2024 at NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center. Forum winners will be offered the opportunity to intern with NASA Aeronautics in the academic year following the Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis theme is increasingly relevant to everyone as we continue to see the impacts of climate change,\u201d said Steven Holz, UI Assistant Manager and Blue Skies Co-Chair. \u201cThere are many untapped or under-utilized capabilities that can be deployed through aeronautics for all types of natural disasters and across the different phases of disaster management. Innovation from today\u2019s teams may prove vital in making advances that affect individuals and environments affected by natural disasters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teams interested in participating in the challenge should review competition guidelines and eligibility requirements posted on the Gateways to Blue Skies competition website, <a href=\"https:\/\/blueskies.nianet.org\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/blueskies.nianet.org<\/a>. Teams are encouraged to submit a non-binding Notice of Intent (NOI) by October 16, 2023 via the website. Proposal and videos are due February 27, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBlue Skies has been transformational for participants,\u201d said Koushik Datta, UI Project Manager. \u201cIt\u2019s incredible to see how engaging in practical solutions to real-world problems in aeronautics through this competition has affected students\u2019 systems-level thinking, networking opportunities, and academic profile. Blue Skies is inspiring the next generation of aeronautics change-makers, while also providing tangible innovations for aviation and NASA aeronautics to consider developing further.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Gateways to Blue Skies Competition is sponsored by NASA\u2019s Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate\u2019s (ARMD\u2019s) University Innovation project (UI) is
