Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
The Wildfire Response Modernization Act directs the Secretary of the Air Force to purchase satellite imagery and related data products from commercial space companies to support wildfire response efforts. The Air Force would work with the National Guard's FireGuard program and U.S. Northern Command to obtain this space-based data to help protect military installations, assist civil authorities during emergencies, and support land management activities. The bill also allows the Air Force to share this satellite information with state, local, and tribal governments to help them fight wildfires more effectively. The legislation applies to the Department of Defense and wildfire management operations across the United States. While the bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines, it indicates that any procurement would be subject to available appropriations.
