Prepping for Wildfires

Yasmin Arbab, a research associate at NASA’s Ames Research Center, tests a prototype device designed for firefighting drone operators, while piloted aircraft perform fire-training operations in the sky, in Redding, California, on May 3, 2022. Intended to help scale up the use of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) – or drones – in disaster response, the UAS pilot’s kit shown here was developed by NASA’s Scalable Traffic Management for Emergency Response Operations (STEReO) project.
