Study on system of systems capability architecture development based on DoDAF V2.0
Capability, which can be seen as an emergent property of a system of systems, is the ability to achieve a desired effect in a specific context. It can be depicted by one or more operational threads that compose a set of operational activities. Based on DoDAF V2.0, this article proposes a four-phased process of SoS capability architecture development mainly using the capability viewpoint to ...

Using a geographic decision support system to plan search and rescue operations
In this paper, we present SARPlan, a geographic decision support system based on optimisation models for planning overland search and rescue operations for missing light aircraft. By optimally allocating the available search effort and by reducing the search area, SARPlan increases the chances of finding lost aircraft and survivors, resulting in saved lives. The emphasis in this presentation is ...

Autonomous sensors for just-in-time information gathering in support of search and rescue in the event of building collapse
Collapse of buildings happens too rarely to justify continuous data collection, even in buildings of special occupancy. Then again, in the event of a collapse, prompt availability of information is crucial for the rescue of trapped people. The use of autonomous sensors to trigger data capturing only when required is the base of a system that was developed to collect and manage information useful ...

Introducing SARCAT - The open-source Search and Rescue data management system
Understanding lost person behavior is essential to making better decisions in how you allocate trained search resources like field search teams, search dogs, helicopters, and drones. For several years now we at Azimuth1 have been working with the leading researcher in lost person behavior, Robert Koester. Robert started cataloging search mission records back in the 90’s and published one of ...

An overview of the use of satellite navigation for disaster management and emergency response
Navigation satellites provide three main datasets for effective and efficient rescue operations: localisation, navigation and timing services. Three–dimensional (3D) coordinates can be obtained by using these satellites. Navigation feature helps rescue teams to get to a disaster area and rescue location faster, easier and safer. Highly accurate time information is used for synchronisation of ...

Tower rescue: first-in operations and the IAP
Across the country “tower” type rescues are becoming more and more common. Accordingly, there is a growing need for local rescuers to be aware of these sites in their response areas, pre-plan for different rescue scenarios, and train their specialized rescue personnel to the appropriate level in order to facilitate the rescue in a safe manner. Tower rescues have become so prevalent, ...
