This work is focused on the formalized reasoning of operational volumes as it relates to the current and future technologies developed by NASA to aid in wildland firefighting operations. One such technology is the Unmanned Aircraft System Pilot Kit (UASP-kit) developed by the Scalable Traffic Management for Emergency Response Operations (STEReO) project at NASA, which is used to increase situational awareness for a ground operator in the field. The UASP-kit utilizes operational volumes to represent mission areas and alerting volumes; these volumes, in combinations with ADS-B data, can then be used to alert the ground operator when another aircraft has entered one of these areas. This work presents a rigorous foundation for the concept of operational volumes for modeling and prototyping operations in such a tool as the UASP-kit. This includes establishing a class of algorithms to detect when an object is in an operational volume, and when one operational volume intersects or is contained in another. Additionally, this work provides rigorous proof that the algorithms work as intended. Scenarios are presented that model current UASP-kit operations and extend past the current capabilities of the technology to modeling more complex scenarios such as mission planning.
