| 51 | |=**Claims (title)**|=**Function**|=**Effect(s)**|=**Action Sequence Step(s)** | ||
| 52 | |**CL1 Increase situational awareness pre-entry**|Thermal camera, live drone feed, map overlay|Enables squad leader and command to understand hazard zones, heat signatures, and layout → Informs safer and more targeted entry plan. | ||
| 53 | → Measure with mission planning accuracy or reduced entry errors.|2b, 3a, 4a | ||
| 54 | |**CL2 Improve safety of firefighters inside**|Drone maps hazard zones and structural integrity|Helps avoid fire, heat, and collapse zones → Fewer responder injuries. | ||
| 55 | → Measure with number of incidents prevented or path corrections.|2a, 3b, 4b | ||
| 56 | |**CL3 Reduce entry preparation time**|Autonomous exploration, 3d scanning|Speeds up hazard mapping before firefighter entry → Enables faster decision-making under pressure. | ||
| 57 | → Measure with time between arrival and safe entry.|2a, 2b | ||
| 58 | |**CL4 Improve victim detection accuracy**|Manual drone control for closer inspection|Reduces false positives in victim detection and increases certainty → Enables better allocation of rescue resources. | ||
| 59 | → Measure with victim confirmation rate.|3a, 3b, 3c | ||
| 60 | |**CL5 Increase command confidence in decisions**|Analyst interpretation + real-time map updates|Enables command to brief team based on data instead of assumptions → Higher mission control and reduced hesitation. | ||
| 61 | → Measure with post-mission surveys or planning revisions.|4a, 4b | ||
| 62 | |**CL6 Improve mission performance overall**|Integrated thermal imaging, analyst updates, safe entry|Results in quicker rescue operations with fewer injuries due to smarter planning and environment awareness. | ||
| 63 | → Measure with rescue success rate and time-to-victim. | ||
