Abstract
Response in crisis situations retains important risk mainly due to increased amount of unpredictable conditions at the incident scenery. Efficient management of such hazardous events necessitates the utilization of autonomous systems capable of operating in a dependable manner without placing the human life in danger. To achieve this, the design of rescue and exploration systems should retained increased operational capabilities, yet coupled with multilevel dependability. The paper at hand, aims to identify the different level of dependabilities that such a system should retain in order to operate in various crisis situations, while at the same time will provide conceptual solutions on how the different dependability levels can be endowed to the system. Moreover, it is proved that the endowed dependability should be maintained iteratively during the system’s lifespan by exploiting systems’ theory techniques preserving system’s dependable behavior in crisis management situations.
