BLM RPRS PROGRAM

Developed in 2015, the Remote Pilot Remote Systems program is a division within the National Interagency Fire Centre located in Boise, Idaho. RPRS is a program that utilizes unmanned aircraft to supplement the manned aircraft fleet to support resource and incident management initiatives. The BLM uses UAS to enhance fire-line situational awareness, support strategic planning processes, create accurate wildland fire maps, collect and display thermal and infrared imagery to detect hot spots, and much more.
