Autonome fliegende Drohnenschwärme zur schnellen Erfassung und Vorhersage möglicher Schadensauswirkungen bei großflächigen Gefährdungen (SkyObserver)

In the case of emergency situations such as an uncontrolled emission of poisonous gases or fluids (CBNRE), the robust sensing and prediction of the possible damage is of the highest relevance to plan rescue missions. Another important aspect is fast detection and location of flewing persons. Based on sensor equipped micro-aerial vehicles (MAV) a situational awareness is created, which allows the commanders to coordinate the relief units (e.g., fire fighters). The sensors mounted on the MAVs are able to detect toxic gases, radiation and crowds, or people in motion. Based on this information an effective, and secure coordination of the rescuers will happen.
