3. Contents • How we can help • Small UAV resources • Aircraft • Mobile control • NASA Wallops Flight Facility • NASA Ames’s support to California forest fire fighters • Doing Business with NASA • What we can do • What we can’t do

4. How NASA Langley Might Help You • Before you invest • Determine what aircraft you need • Discover what different sensors can do • Experiment with how you might use a UAV • Try system in real emergency situations • Training • Coordination with regulators (FAA)

5. Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Army FQM-117B Target Drone Wingspan: 68 in. Length: 6 ft. Fuel: RC aircraft “glow fuel” Weight: 8-15 lbs. Payload: 1-5 lbs. Speed: 20-80 kts. Advantages: Inexpensive, modular, docile • Several small aircraft used for testing avionics • Fixed wing • Helicopter • Inexpensive, easy to modify • Short take-off and landing • Experience carrying small cameras • Visible • Infrared

6. Mobile Operations Station • Sophisticated 5.5 % scale model of Boeing 757 developed for research purposes • Mobile operations center for remote testing can be repurposed

7. NASA Wallops Flight Facility • Restricted airspace • Remote location minimizes interference • Fully equipped, experienced staff 1500’ runway Range instrumentation Control center Hangar, prep areas NASA Wallops Flight Facility

8. Repurposed AF Predator Retrofit with sensors Forest fire emergency Mission planning & control Timely, detailed information Valuable state capability NASA Ames’s Forest Fire Support

9. Doing Business with NASA • Space Act Agreement: NASA works for or with a partner • Fully-, partially-, or non-reimbursed costs • Arrangements depend on synergy with NASA mission • Property Loan Agreement: NASA lends equipment or gives access to facility • Intergovernmental Personnel Act: temporary assign NASA person to another organization • Intergovernmental Cooperation Act Agreement: supports state and local government R&D

10. To the Extent We Can… • What We Can’t Do • Compete with private sector • Something outside our mission • Provide an on-going operational capability • Political advocacy • Limitations • Take people from high priority NASA missions • Funding
