Project Background and Goals
There has always been significant interest at UAF and in the State of Alaska in testing
the benefit of low-cost, UAS-ready airborne SAR systems for a range of Alaska’s geoscience
and hazard applications. Through a NASA EPSCoR grant entitled “Quantifying Fuel Impacts
on Wildfire Behavior and Emissions by Coupling Small Unmanned Aircraft In-situ Measurements
with Satellites Observations,” we now have the opportunity to bring one of the market-leading
UAV-ready airborne SAR systems up to Fairbanks for a two month period. The flexibility
of the system will allow us to test its applicability to a wide range of Alaskan communities
and the Alaskan industry as a means to quickly survey and respond to natural and anthropogenic
disasters.
