About this opportunity
ESA invites proposals for innovative services that advance wildfire management using space technology and data. This initiative is part of the Wildfire Safety initiative and focuses on Wildfire Response, specifically seeking solutions advancing early detection of wildfires, near-real-time fire evolution monitoring, fire behaviour simulation and prediction. The program addresses the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires in Europe's Southern Mediterranean region and parts of Central and Eastern Europe. Proposals must demonstrate credible customer engagement, clear market potential leading to commercially viable service concepts, potential technical feasibility with a pathway to implementable solutions, and clear added value from the use of space data or space-based technologies. Satellite data and technology must play a critical role in proposed solutions, including satellite Earth observation for mapping and monitoring, satellite positioning for guidance systems, and satellite communications for connectivity.
