The Environment and Natural Resources Division (ENRD) Forestry Branch at Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield led the burn operations, while scientists collected ground and airborne measurements. FireSense coordinated with the DoD Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and DoD Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP), U.S. Forest Service, as well as other agency, academic, and private partners to conduct simultaneous ground, airborne, and spaceborne data collection on prescribed fires at Fort Stewart-Hunter Army Airfield.
