ACERO Act of 2024
The ACERO Act of 2024 directs NASA to leverage its existing tools and technologies to improve aerial wildfire response efforts. It requires NASA to develop advanced aircraft coordination systems, real-time data sharing platforms, and multi-agency collaboration frameworks for wildfire response teams. The bill also prohibits NASA from procuring drones made by "covered foreign entities" (as defined in law) without specific congressional approval, except in national interest cases. Funding of $15 million for fiscal year 2025 supports these activities, with annual reports to Congress on progress and effectiveness.
