Novel “Second-Shift” capabilities—leveraging Uncrewed Aerial Systems and Optionally Piloted Vehicles—are identified that could extend wildfire aerial logistics support into night or low-visibility conditions. Expert elicitations with subject-matter experts informed the development of these conceptual capabilities and identified key challenges in wildfire logistics operations. Furthermore, the potential of these capabilities could extend beyond aerial logistics support, encompassing aerial suppression, observation, and emergency extraction support for wildland firefighting. An approach to development, implementation and validation of the novel capabilities is described.
