Abstract
The Land Operations Command (LOC) of the Ecuadorian army, during the earthquake on April 16, 2016, in the province of Manabí identified the need to implement a Military Units for Rapid Intervention (MURI) to natural disasters in regional and national areas. The present document is a proposal of forming a Military Unit denominated as Unmanned Tactical Command Center (UTCC), in order to support the command and control the MURI, which is supported in the use of remotely piloted air systems and unmanned air systems (RPAS/UAS). The research problem is to determinate the magnitude of the MURI, which depends on the intensity of the event and determines the structure, organization, and equipment of the UTCC. The creation of the UTCC will permit de efficiently use and optimization of the Army resources available and will be a reference model for others entities of the country.
