3 -|=**Objective**|=Use health sensors to monitor USAR responders during operations, enabling real-time intervention and mission adjustment.
4 -|**TDP**|TDP3, TDP6, TDP7
5 -|**IDP**|IDP2, IDP4
6 -|**Actors**|Responder, Team Leader, Medical Staff, Safety Officer
7 -|**Pre-Condition**|Wearables calibrated and worn before entering the operational zone.
8 -|**Post-Condition**|Health data processed; alerts triggered; medical decisions informed.
3 +|=**Objective**|=[[OB01: Increase effectiveness through exploration, sensing and communication means>>path:#]]
4 +[[OB04: Improve safety by providing overviews and warnings of environment conditions>>path:#]]
5 +|=**Description**|=**Use RTK-enabled outdoor drones for wide area assessment before and during USAR operations. Drones hover near structures and provide high-resolution video, controlled manually by an operator. Teams and command staff use the footage to support planning, assess hazards, and make routing decisions.**
6 +|**TDP**|TDP1, TDP4, TDP6
7 +|**IDP**|IDP1, IDP3
8 +|**Actors**|Drone Operator, USAR Rescuers, Command Center Staff, Camera Analyst (optional)
9 +|**Pre-Condition**|Drone is operational and connected; a need for external visual assessment is identified.
10 +|**Post-Condition**|Hazards and structures externally assessed; situational awareness increased across teams.
11 +|**Status**|Earlier version validated during CFT 2

14 14  === **Action Sequence** ===
15 15  
16 -1. **Sensor Setup and Readiness**
17 - a. Wearables are distributed and calibrated at staging area.
18 - b. Each responder confirms correct placement and pairing.
19 - c. System diagnostics confirm connectivity to C3I and health monitoring software.
20 -1. **Monitoring and Local Alerts**
21 - a. Wearables measure vitals (e.g. heart rate, temp, hydration).
22 - b. Local LED/sound alerts notify responder of rising stress or danger.
23 - c. Non-critical data is logged passively for review.
24 -1. **Remote Monitoring and Escalation**
25 - a. Safety officer observes all live health feeds via dashboard.
26 - b. Alerts for critical thresholds trigger visual/audio warnings.
27 - c. Team leader is notified and confirms next action (pause, replace, extract).
28 -1. **Medical Decision and Evacuation**
29 - a. Medic evaluates responder if thresholds persist.
30 - b. If required, team extracts responder for treatment.
31 - c. Info logged and synced to medical HQ for continuity of care.
32 -1. **Command-Level Operational Adjustment**
33 - a. Based on patterns, team rotations or routes are adjusted.
34 - b. System records trends for debrief and post-mission reporting.
17 +1. **Deployment and Initial Positioning**
18 + a. Command or team lead requests drone support for external area overview.
19 + b. Drone operator launches drone, checks connectivity and RTK accuracy.
20 + c. Live feed is shared with teams and command center.
21 +1. **Initial Area Assessment**
22 + a. Drone hovers and performs a wide pass along the operational area.
23 + b. Camera operator or analyst identifies terrain features and visible hazards.
24 + c. Findings are noted by command staff for initial planning and worksite layout.
25 +1. **Detailed Look Upon Request**
26 + a. A responder team or command staff requests specific inspection (e.g. rooftop stability, exit blockage).
27 + b. Operator manually moves drone and zooms in for closer inspection.
28 + c. Team uses footage for tactical decision-making or confirmation before approach.
29 +1. **Data Sharing and Coordination**
30 + a. Screenshots or annotated video are shared across teams.
31 + b. Visual information is added to digital maps or discussed in team briefings.
32 + c. Drone remains in overwatch or is redirected to the next location.
