Reducing the risks for operator by raising the Situational Awareness and increasing remote and automated capabilities with less human intervention facilitated by the use of multiple unmanned platforms carrying sensors, localisation and communications technologies.

Development of new tools, operational methods and technologies for first responders which are developed, and field validated with the end users in near real life scenarios. Securing better fit of the solution to the first reponders needs and higher acceptance of the CURSOR SaR Kit in the field.

New knowledge about training and field validation processes throughout the testing of new technologies as part of the project. New training methods and material will be developed throughout the project by the technical partners hand in hand with the practitioners and tested during the Field Trials. Technology validation process of both operational and technical aspects will be developed and tested during the different stages to ensure that technology meets the required benchmarks and fits to the needs of the first responders.

Improving existing standards and development of new ones through initiation standardisation activities. Results from the R&D work carried out in the project together with testing phases will hopefully contribute to the INSARAG SaR guidelines, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) as well as Standards for USaR teams.

Eventually once commercially deployed the CURSOR SaR Kit is foreseen to reduce the high costs of disasters, increasing the effectiveness of crisis response and SaR operations – saving time and finally also budget while increasing the chances of better utilising the technology and human limited resources to locate and rescue the highest number of live victims out of the disaster area in the fastest time possible.
