Toward an Operational Integration of Drones into Immersive Simulation Applied to Civil and Industrial Safety: Design, Applications, and Perspectives of the EVE©-Drone Model

This article analyzes the operational integration of drones within immersive simulation systems applied to civil and industrial safety. It examines the transformation of aerial sensor data into actionable information for decision-making, as well as the mechanisms of human–machine cooperation in complex virtual environments. The study highlights the contributions of multi-agent systems, multi-sensor fusion, and embedded artificial intelligence to enhancing situational awareness. Finally, it discusses the current limitations and future perspectives of these approaches for operational training and the validation of intervention doctrines.
