The STEReO team\u2019s prototype technology \u2013 the yellow UAS pilot\u2019s kit pictured here \u2013 brings drone pilots greater awareness of other flights happening nearby, allowing them to safely and efficiently participate in fire response operations.<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">Credits: NASA<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Aerial Ignition: Lighting Friendly Fires<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In March, STEReO team members observed U.S. Forest Service personnel working at prescribed burns in eight national forests across Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. These intentional fires are a land management strategy used to reduce the amount of vegetation available for unintentional fires to burn. They\u2019re started with aerial-ignition platforms, drones that precisely drop small incendiary balls while under the control of a remote pilot. Forest Service trainees were learning the ropes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NASA team brought four of their UASP-kits to these events, taught Forest Service personnel how to operate them, and then observed as the firefighters used the technology during two weeks of real-world missions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prescribed burns provide a way to practice for fire emergencies. But they also come with their own challenges, which STEReO can help meet. Unlike wildfire disaster responses, prescribed burns don\u2019t have the protections offered by a closed-off airspace meant to keep other aircraft out of the way. That means anyone can fly through the area. STEReO\u2019s UASP-kit gives operators greater awareness of nearby aircraft, making it safer to conduct these helpful kinds of burns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this field work, NASA researchers gathered important data and feedback from fire teams\u2019 extended use of STEReO\u2019s concepts in a real-world setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was great to see them incorporate the UASP-kit into their workflows and hear how it affects their situational awareness,\u201d said Joey Mercer, STEReO\u2019s principal investigator at NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center in California\u2019s Silicon Valley, where the project is led. \u201cAny time spent in the field with firefighters is super valuable \u2013 we get to see more of their world and see who we\u2019re building this technology for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Updating the UASP-kit <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of the country, in early May, STEReO researchers joined a training course related to aerial firefighting hosted by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). In Redding, California, trainees were learning to direct the intense airspace activity of an emergency response, with numerous aircraft flying over a simulated fire. On the ground, NASA\u2019s STEReO team was testing new features of their UASP-kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While no drones were flown that day, STEReO team members played the role of the UAS pilot and tested how the UASP-kit performed with their latest software in this complex environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were able to see right away if a new feature was working well, or if it needed immediate attention from our team\u2019s software engineers,\u201d said Mercer. \u201cThis rapid prototyping approach, when validated in these operational settings, is the fastest way for us to be sure we\u2019re giving these users the capabilities they need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As fire season progresses, the STEReO team will keep learning how to improve the UASP-kit from their partners on the front lines of wildfires. Forest Service and CAL FIRE staff will continue to operate the UASP-kits throughout this fire season, giving the STEReO team many opportunities to observe how drone operators use their technology during wildfire disaster responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>STEReO is led by <\/em><em>NASA\u2019s Ames Research Center in California\u2019s Silicon Valley<\/em><em> in collaboration with two other NASA centers: Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia, and Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. STEReO\u2019s partners range from federal agencies to city and state fire departments, utilities, and private companies. The work is a concept study under NASA\u2019s Convergent Aeronautics Solutions project. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For news media<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the news media interested in
