3 -This experiment validates multiple human-machine teaming technologies in Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) operations. Four operational modules simulate a full operational storyline across two days: wide area assessment, full-area reconnaissance with health monitoring, indoor drone-assisted search, and precision inspection in confined spaces.
3 +//<include a short summary of the claims to be tested, i.e., the effects of the functions in a specfic use case>//
4 4  
5 -The modules test system functions from five use cases, and aim to quantify effects on safety, situation awareness (SA), physical workload, mission effectiveness, and decision-making quality. Results will be compared against expected performance without these technologies, based on either baseline team data, observer input, or known solution benchmarks.
