NASA
This program element seeks ideas that span observation and information system technologies that: 

• Enhance capabilities of existing science instruments needed for monitoring pre-fire, active-fire, and post-fire environments. 
• Reduce mass and power of instruments for accommodation by next-generation small spacecraft and aerial platforms. 
• Enable unprecedented measurements from multiple vantage points through model-directed, coordinated observations using autonomous tasking. 
• Address computational challenges for modeling and for data acquisition, fusion, and processing in a real-time environment. 
• Facilitate machine learning and artificial intelligence to create new data products needed for wildland fire management and for management of the constellation of observing platforms. 
• Enable the seamless exchange of information between spaceborne, airborne, and in situ assets.
