About this file
This Statement of Work outlines NASA FireSense's requirements for testing and demonstrating a networked fire mapping system during a prescribed burn at Merritt Island/Kennedy Space Center in April 2025. The objective is to test a cost-effective, compact sensor system operating across multiple platforms (crewed and uncrewed) to create real-time fire mapping during wildfire suppression activities.
The contractor must support four main tasks: remote Rx burn planning, Supervolo test planning support, on-site support at Langley Research Center for sensor installation (February 24-28, 2025), and on-site support at Kennedy Space Center (April 7-22, 2025 window). The testing will utilize a NASA Supervolo XL Hybrid UAS and PA-39 Twin Comanche aircraft. Key deliverables include maintaining a real-time fire mapping website for 3 months post-exercise, providing an FTP site for data downloads (30-day access), daily exercise reports, and input for the final technical report. The contractor is responsible for aircraft airworthiness, safety, pilot qualifications, and assumes all risk associated with Supervolo testing, with travel reimbursed according to Joint Travel Regulations.

TITLE: Statement of Work for Networked Fire Mapping Demonstra on during Merri Island/KSC Prescribed Burn
1. Introduc on/Background: NASA FireSense is interested in a cost-effec ve, compact, and networked sensor designed to operate in a mul -pla orm environment with each pla orm contribu ng to a common fire map in near-real me during wildfire suppression ac vi es. The NASA FireSense program desires to u lize this technology at Merri Island, Kennedy Space Center (KSC) prescribed (Rx) burn in April 2025 as an opportunity to perform crewed and un-crewed sensor tes ng and demonstra on.
2. Scope/Objec ves: This Statement of Work (SOW) outlines the expected effort and deliverables. The primary objec ve is to test a fire mapping system in representa ve mul -pla orm scenarios over an Rx burn. The NASA Supervolo XL Hybrid UAS will be u lized as the uncrewed sensor pla orm and a PA-39 Twin Comanche is the preferred crewed pla orm. In the event that either pla orm drops out, obtaining fire mapping data from at least one pla orm will be deemed a success.
3. Requirements:
3.1. Task 1: Support Rx Burn Planning ac vi es. This is assumed to be remote support via email and virtual teams mee ngs.
3.2 Task 2: Support NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) Supervolo test planning and flight clearance ac vi es. This is assumed to be remote support via email and virtual teams mee ngs.
3.3 Task 3: Travel to Langley Research Center to support Supervolo sensor installa on and integra on flight tes ng.
Provide onsite hardware and so ware support for integra on flight tes ng. For planning purposes this is assumed to be approximately five days (Mon – Fri) at LaRC.
Coordinate payload transporta on (shipping or hand carriage).
Provide associated cloud-based processing and cell/satellite communica ons services.
Provide any unique tools or equipment required to perform payload troubleshoo ng and repairs.
A rough schedule follows:
Day 0: Travel from Contractor facility to NASA Langley Research Center
Day 1: Tenta vely 24 Feb 2025: Install sensor payload on the NASA Supervolo XL UAS.
Support ground tes ng.
Day 2: Support ini al flight tes ng. Troubleshoot and make adjustments as necessary.
Day 3: Support flight tes ng. Troubleshoot as necessary.
Day 4: Support flight tes ng. Troubleshoot as necessary. Support test repor ng as needed
Day 5: Back-up flight test day. Support test repor ng. Pack-up and return travel.
3.4 Task 4: Travel to Kennedy Space Center, FL and support FireSense crewed/uncrewed sensor tes ng. For planning purposes this is assumed to start on 7 April 2025 with a burn window of extending to 22 April. Contractor to support the following:
Coordinate sensor payload transporta on (shipping or hand carriage).
Provide onsite hardware and so ware support during flight tes ng.
Provide associated cloud-based processing and cell/satellite communica ons services.
Bring any unique tools or equipment required to perform payload troubleshoo ng and repairs.
Ferry PA-39 test aircra to/from contractor facility and provide approximately nine hours of data acquisi on flying.
Support daily exercise briefs and debriefs.
A rough schedule follows:
Day 0: Ferry crewed aircra to local airport to arrive before Monday, 7 April
Day 1: Tenta vely 7 April 2025: Par cipate in exercise coordina on mee ngs. Assist sensor payload installa on on Supervolo. Conduct local crewed/uncrewed test flights as necessary.
Day 2 and Subsequent: Support burn window flight test opportuni es. Support briefing, debriefing and repor ng ac vi es.
4. Deliverables:
4.1 Near Real-Time Mapping Data: Provide dedicate exercise website for viewing fire mapping data in near real- me. Maintain website for three months post exercise.
4.2 Fire Data FTP Site: Provide exercise fire mapping data FTP download site in mutually agreeable data format. Maintain FTP site for 30-days a er comple on of exercise
4.3 Informal Exercise Repor ng: Provide informal daily exercise reports
4.4 Final Technical Report Input: Provide inputs to the campaign Final Technical Report
5. Other Per nent Informa on/Special Considera ons:
Contractor is responsible for crewed aircra airworthiness, safety of flight, and pilot qualifica ons/currency.
The contractor assumes all risk of loss associated with Supervolo test ac vi es.
All travel and Per Diem reimbursable at cost in accordance with the Joint Travel
Regula ons (JTRs)
