It is 08:00, roughly two hours after a major earthquake struck the Kentro district of Néa Aktí. Twelve buildings need aerial assessment. You control three UAVs from two launch points and must feed USAR command a reliable, current operational picture over a five-hour operational period (≈25 minutes at normal speed — you can pause or accelerate at any time).
How to operate
Select a building on the map (or in the Buildings tab) and plan a mission: visual inspection, thermal search, roof-stability assessment, facade-crack mapping, or a communications-relay deployment.
Watch battery, signal coverage, no-fly zones and route length — UAVs auto-return at their 25% reserve, and incomplete missions produce nothing.
Aftershocks will occur. They raise building risk, can invalidate earlier assessments (marked provisional or outdated), and may force airborne safety decisions.
Completed missions create intelligence products. Transmit them to command while they are current — or transmit with stated limitations. Sending stale findings as reliable costs you.
Answer command requests before their deadlines and acknowledge alerts promptly.
You are evaluated on
Building coverage · priority-based tasking · aftershock response · UAV safety · information freshness · command responsiveness · alert management · operational productivity — pass mark 70%.
GENERAL KNOWLEDGE — The prioritisation logic (structural risk × likely occupancy × vulnerability × command need × data age), the reserve-battery return rule and the reassess-after-aftershock discipline reflect common USAR/UAS field practice consistent with INSARAG-style coordination doctrine, but the specific figures (endurances, thresholds, timings, scores) are training values invented for this exercise, not cited operational standards.
