Decision Support Tools and Layouts for MOMU (Multiple Operator Multiple UAV) Environments

The objective of this research is to design and develop tools, layouts, techniques and procedures to aid operators in handling Multiple Operator Multiple UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) environments. In this paper we describe a study conducted on proficient operators, examining a new tool 'Maintain Video Quality'. This tool aims to facilitate handoffs and UAV switching among operators. Experimental methodology and preliminary findings are discussed.
