Abstract
The RESPONDRONE project develops and evaluates a multi-UAS platform to accelerate situation assessment and ease decision making during natural disasters. In order to assure that the multi-UAS platform meets the needs of the end-users, first response organizations are part of the project and closely involved in the design, development and evaluation of the platform. As one of the first steps in the project, a mock-up of the multi-UAS platform’s user interface was developed, which consists of two displays, one being a display for an on-site command center and the other a mobile application for the first response units in the field. Both displays were initially evaluated by eight subject matter experts in an online study and received good to excellent ratings regarding usefulness, usability and ease of use of the systems. The results are currently being incorporated into the displays and further evaluations are planned with the improved mock-ups.
