    The Statement of Work (SOW) outlines NASA FireSense's initiative to demonstrate a networked fire mapping system during the Merritt Island/Kennedy Space Center (KSC) prescribed burn in April 2025. The primary goal is to test this multi-platform sensor technology, employing both uncrewed (NASA Supervolo XL Hybrid UAS) and crewed (PA-39 Twin Comanche) aircraft for fire mapping in near-real-time. Key tasks include supporting burn planning, conducting test flights at NASA Langley Research Center, and providing on-site support at KSC. Deliverables encompass near-real-time mapping data accessible via a dedicated website, an FTP site for data downloads, daily exercise reports, and inputs for a final technical report. The contractor will bear responsibilities such as airworthiness of crewed aircraft and risk associated with the Supervolo tests, with travel costs reimbursed per the Joint Travel Regulations. This project highlights NASA's commitment to innovating wildfire monitoring techniques and emphasizes the collaborative effort between various platforms for enhanced fire management strategies.
