Abstract
On September 29th, 2021 a field testing activity for the INGENIOUS project took place at HRTA’s training facilities in Afidnes (ATC), Attica region of Greece. The INGENIOUS project is about ensuring a high level of protection and augmented operational capacity for First Responders (FR) working inside the disaster area. The main objectives of these two Small Scale Field Tests included the integration of the specific components of the INGENIOUS Toolkit in real-life conditions, in order to provide testing, assessment, validation and improvements for further development steps. FRs have a significant role as they are the end-users that in future will depend on technologies like these, while robustness, accuracy and reliability of the components are crucial acceptance factors. Hence, this work presents these field tests, their outcomes and the assessment of their results from the FR perspective for real-world Search and Rescue (SAR) operations.
