NASA demonstrates new wildland fire airspace management system
- NASA researchers conducted tests on a new Portable Airspace Management System for wildland firefighting from March 17 to 28, 2025, in Monterey County, California.
- The Portable Airspace Management System can manage airspace during low-visibility conditions, helping to prevent collisions in aerial firefighting operations.
- Fire chiefs from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection provided feedback on PAMS's functionality and integration potential.
- NASA aims to develop PAMS further for real-world use by wildland fire crews to enhance safety and efficiency in emergency response operations.

NASA develops airspace management system to monitor wildfires in California
In a secluded corner of California, NASA is trialling its portable aircraft management system designed to combat wildfires. Today, their aim is to ensure drones and remotely piloted helicopters remain within their designated flight paths, wildfire operation zones, and steer clear of any aerial collisions. Following the devastating wildfires in California earlier this year, NASA has been collaborating with the California Department of Forestry an…
