Identified needs following the field trial.
New Stuff
- Better camera
- Camera transmission
- Comms in real terrain/relays
- Digital video transmission
- Mosaics for oblique angles, context and gimbals
- Ground searchers / CP comms is verbal
- technology mediated comms
- across roles, locations of ground searchers, UAV
- handheld device for ground searcher
- need comms
- Tie enhancements to displays
- Refinements on coverage, annotation++
- See-ability driven search - multicamera and multi-roles
- Fusing roles, scalability (people, planes, GS, camera)
- IR
Tweaks
- props
- take off needs to be robust
- integrate Cameron's interface
- search patterns: lawnmower along shorter axis, contour, automatically resuming pattern, field parameters
- “what was that?”
- proximity of roles
Surprises
- Good video, color important
- Mosaic counterproductive for loiter, banking, gimballing other than straight down
