A Novel System for Analyzing the Local State of the Environment Preceding Wildfires with the Goal to Develop Wildfire Predictors

Completed TRL 3 (started at 2, targeting 3)

Description

Develop system characterizing wildfire precursors by assessing long term historical state of environment.

Benefits

Enables determination of the systematic pre-cursors of the environmental state of wildfires, potentially leading to deployment of resources or mitigation efforts

How to get involved

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 3) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
