About this file
This Statement of Work details NASA's Advanced Capabilities for Emergency Response Operations (ACERO) project focused on improving wildland firefighting aerial communication technologies. NASA seeks to procure 4 OEM Silvus 1700 radios with specific technical requirements, including Mobile Networked MIMO waveform, multiple modulation types (BPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM), channel bandwidths of 5-20 MHz, DES and AES encryption, and data rates up to 100 Mbps. The radios are intended for flight systems to enhance situational awareness and safety in wildland fire airspace management, addressing current communication challenges where individual agencies have developed disconnected technological capabilities.
The technical specifications for the radios include advanced features such as spatial multiplexing, space-time coding, eigen beamforming, 1-2 spatial streams, variable power output (1mW-4W), low 7ms latency, and sensitivity of -99 dBm. The radios will operate across multiple frequency bands including 2025-2110 MHz, Federal S 2200-2300 MHz, S Band 2200-2500 MHz, and 2.4GHz ISM, with a specific 4 GHz government operations band for maximum interoperability in flight models. The procurement supports NASA's broader goal of improving firefighting aerial communication technologies in increasingly challenging wildfire environments.

Statement of work: Flight Radios
Background:
NASA’s Advanced Capabilities for Emergency Response Operations (ACERO) project.
Wildland fires are an epidemic across the United States. Decades of suppression-focused firefighting and rising temperatures have made ecosystems vulnerable to increasingly devastating wildfires. As temperatures rise, firefighting communities expect an increased strain on their procedures and resources. These resources and procedures have proven successful for many years but have been sluggish to adapt and grow alongside technological advancements. Individual agencies and organizations have slowly modernized their equipment to their own unique capabilities and standards, causing disconnect in large incident collaborations.
Aerial systems provide effective means for incident surveillance, incident management, logistics operations, and suppression in support of ground crews.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), each drop from an aircraft had an 82% probability of success. However, while successful, these operations are often in low-altitude, high-risk environments, making aviation one of the most dangerous areas of wildland firefighting.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is invested in finding ways to leverage its expertise in aviation, technology, safety, and innovation to support the firefighting community’s efforts and capabilities. This Airspace Management use case is part of a Concept of Operations that assess current-state airspace management practices and procedures in order to investigate and propose new ways to improve the Situation Awareness effectiveness, and safety of all wildland fire airspace participants.
