1. BACKGROUND

Established in 1905, the USDA Forest Service (FS) is a federal agency that manages public lands in national forests and grasslands under a founding principle, "To provide the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people in the long run". The agency’s mission is to “sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of the Nation’s forests and grasslands to meet the needs of present and future generations”. The FS has the responsibility for stewardship of more than 193 million acres of the nation’s forests and grasslands; for developing and communicating scientific knowledge through research and development that leads to informed natural resource decision-making; for delivering technical assistance through state and private forestry programs; and for sharing knowledge and experience with others in the global community through international forestry.

The Forest Service has been utilizing remote sensing since the 1920’s, when the first aerial reconnaissance efforts began. Currently, the agency utilizes satellite, airborne and terrestrial-based remote sensing capabilities to monitor, analyze, and record changes on the landscape These activities promote continued informed economic expansion, well-managed natural resources, environmental awareness, national security, and the advancement of scientific knowledge.

2. BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS

The FS Geospatial Technology and Applications Center (GTAC) provides technical support to the FS Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Program and agency practitioners of the technology. This support includes evaluation of sensors and relevant technologies as well as consultation and direct project support to field units. UAS imagery, lidar, video and analytical derivative products complement other geospatial data/information sources and significantly improve Forest Service remote sensing capability for a number of natural resource management use cases. This procurement provides sensors compatible with UAS platforms currently approved by the agency to GTAC staff for evaluation and operational use. It also supports the UAS Program and GTAC efforts to expand the use of these sensors in the agency and enable the development and integration science-grade geospatial data and products for resource management activities.
