| 9 | Crews prefer a **pilot/analyst split** with an optional **overview** role. Detections should arrive as **actionable waypoints** with confidence and “why,” not as raw heatmaps. Short pre-entry scans are accepted when they clearly improve safety—treated as an **investment**. Maintain **people/drone separation** during close-quarters work; give explicit cues for airspace and ground-proximity. If link drops, show **last known good** and allow autonomous mission continuation with reconciliation later. |
