Amendment 11: Technology Development for Support of Wildland Fire Science, Management, and Disaster Mitigation (A.59 FireSense Technology) Final Text.

Technology Development for Support of Wildland Fire Science, Management, and Disaster Mitigation (A.59 FireSense Technology) 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.

ROSES-2023 Amendment 11 releases final text and due dates for A.59 FireSense Technology which had previously been TBD in ROSES-2023. This program element has changed in a few significant ways from the ROSES-2022 version:
(1) The 2-Step submission process has changed to non-binding, see Section 2,
(2) Step-2 (but not Step-1) Proposals will be evaluated using a dual-anonymous peer review (DAPR) process, see Section 2.2.2 and
(3) the Step-2 proposal review schedule has changed to semiannual, see Section 2.2.

Step-1 proposals may be submitted at any time and will receive encourage/discourage decisions within 30 days of submission. Step-2 proposals must include ESTO non-standard elements, see Section 2.2.1 and Table A.59-2. An Open-Source Software plan is required for Step-2 proposals in place of the Open Science and Data Management Plan, see Section 2.4.

On or about March 30, 2023, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2023" (NNH23ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2023/

Questions concerning A.59 FireSense Technology should be directed to Haris Riris at Haris.Riris-1@nasa.gov.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
