45 -1. [Debrief / Hotwash]
118 +1. __Team preparation__:
119 +11. FR team ROBOT is trained in operating the robot, analysing the camera stream, and pinning information on C3I
120 +11. Squad leader and BoO are trained for both teams in interpreting the health and location sensor data.
121 +11. Experiment leader knows where hazards and victims are in both buildings.
122 +11. Anymal robot is tested with network in target buildings for experiment (without FR themselves seeing building!)
123 +1. __Experiment preparation:__
124 +11. Building is prepped with victims, hazards, etc.
125 +1. __Briefing:__
126 +11. Same for both teams for both building types: Building has been inspected from outside and is estimated safe for entry. Situation inside unknown. Victims possibly present. Goal: find, assess, and extract victims while avoiding and mapping hazards.
127 +11. One person is notified that their health sensor will be triggered during the Building B (difficult building) situation.
128 +1. __Execution:__
129 +11. For FR team ROBOT, see: [[UC04.3: Detailed indoor exploration with ANYMAL (USAR)>>2\. Specification.b\. Use Cases.UC04\.0\: Detailed indoor exploration.UC04\.3\: Detailed indoor exploration with ANYMAL (USAR).WebHome]]

131 +11. During execution of both teams, performance will be measured by experiment leader:
132 +111. Mission completion time
133 +111. Health indicators stay within acceptable range
134 +111. Time for tackling any health alerts
135 +111. Track FR path
136 +1. __Hotwash__:
137 +11. Questions on:
