===Discussions ===

'''UAS for Wildfire Operation Discussion''' (11:00-12:30 CDT) – Moderator: Haiyang Chao and Sheena Parsons

Objective: UAS safety and wildfire integration challenges/needs

Survey Question 1 (results in ''italic''): What are the most critical challenges for integration of small UAS into wildfire surveillance?

1. ''UAS and crew safety;''
2. UAS capability to handle wind and turbulence;
3. ''Available information UAS can deliver,''
4. UAS endurance, weight and size,
5. ''Dynamically changing fire environments; ''
6. FAA regulation;
7. Other

Survey Question 2: What is the biggest safety concern for you to use UAS in your fire operations?

''1. Strong wind and turbulence'';
2. UAS flight over people on the ground;
''3. Avoidance of terrain or other aircraft''

Survey Question 3: What is the most needed wildfire information that UAS can provide during wildfire fighting?

''1. Fire front location and rate of spread;''
2. Fire temperature;
3. Hot spot location and temperature;
4. Flame height

Discussion Question 1:
What type of UAS is most needed for wildfire fighting now? Size and weight limit? Sensing capability? Actuation capability (fire ball dropping)? Autonomous capability (fireline following?). Endurance and scale?

Discussion Question 2:
Human UAS interface. How can we speed up the communication between UAS and human operator during the fire fighting?

Discussion Question 3:
What are the needs from the wildfire fighters and government agency for UAS integration?

Discussion Question 4:
How can we build a wildfire resilient community? How can different communities help each other? University, fire fighter, government agency.

'''Prescribed Fire Community Discussions''' (13:30-15:00 CDT) – Moderator: Walter Fick and Xiaolin Hu

Objective: how to integrate UAS and fire behavior simulation to achieve smarter and safer prescribed burning?

Survey Question 1.Do you feel micro UAS (< 5 lbs) will be useful in prescribed fire real-time monitoring?
''Yes.'' No.

Discussion Question 1: What are the best practices at the community level for supporting landowners’ prescribed burning? What changes that you would like to see to improve over the current practice?

Discussion Question 2: What challenges do you anticipate for landowners/practitioners to adopt the proposed technologies (or in general any new technologies)?

Discussion Question 3: What activities can be done to improve the community (the prescribed burning community, or the broader community) as a whole?

Discussion Question 4: How can we use UAS for post fire evaluation (temporal and spatially variant environment)? Examples include Fungi, burn severity, post-burn ecology recovery.

'''Open Discussions''' (15:00-15:30 CDT) - Saket Gowravaram [http://people.ku.edu/~h512c315/UASfireworkshop2021/SaketUASFireWorkshop_Data_final.pdf (PDF)]

a. UAS and payload demonstration

b. Fire data collection and data sharing
