OPAL AI INC — National Aeronautics and Space Administration SBIR Phase II: IGNITE - FIREGPT: A VISION LANGUAGE MODEL FOR PRESCRIBED BURN DECISION SUPPORT USING NASA
OPAL AI INC — SBIR Phase II award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Phase II SBIR prototype / development signal
- Phase II is where National Aeronautics and Space Administration funds deeper R&D after feasibility. Incumbents with Phase II history are serious competitors on adjacent topics.
- Use this award as past-performance context and to map customer organizations for STRATFI/TACFI-style transition planning.
- Obligated amount $1,274,798 is consistent with substantial Phase II-scale effort; compare to related awards from the same agency.
- Tagged technology areas: Artificial Intelligence/ML, Space & Satellite. Follow those hubs for open topics and peer winners in the same cluster.
Summary
Opal AI Inc received nearly $900,000 from NASA to develop FireGPT, an AI model that uses satellite data to support decisions on controlled burns for land management. This Phase II SBIR project aims to create a vision-language tool to help with fire planning using NASA Earth science information.
