Presiden Prabowo Subianto mengumumkan rencana pengadaan drone angkut berat, pesawat tambahan, dan kapal induk pertama Indonesia untuk memperkuat penanggulangan kebakaran hutan dan lahan (karhutla). Langkah antisipatif ini menekankan prinsip surplus aset, termasuk helikopter water bombing, peralatan pemadam skala kecil yang ditempatkan permanen di desa rawan, serta tugas kepada BRIN untuk efisiensi cloud seeding. Prabowo juga mengakui adanya keterlambatan operasional tahun ini dan menginstruksikan koordinasi lintas kementerian guna mempercepat pengadaan.
