Search and Rescue (SAR) organizations are embracing unmanned aerial vehicles or drones to support their missions. In many SAR missions, searchers are dispatched in the wilderness or urban areas to look for clues of the lost person (e.g., footprints, personal belongs). One manager proposes that every searcher should be given a drone to help their search. However, a volunteer trained in human factors disagrees on the basis of the multiple resource theory. Briefly describe the task of searching for clues and flying a drone. Use the multiple resource theory (including all three components) to indicate why providing drones for searchers may indeed result in inferior SAR performance.

Question
Search and Rescue (SAR) organizations are
embracing unmanned aerial vehicles or drones
to support their missions. In many SAR missions,
searchers are dispatched in the wilderness or
urban areas to look for clues of the lost person
(e.g., footprints, personal belongs). One
manager proposes that every searcher should
be given a drone to help their search. However, a
volunteer trained in human factors disagrees on
the basis of the multiple resource theory. Briefly
describe the task of searching for clues and
flying a drone. Use the multiple resource theory
(including all three components) to indicate why
providing drones for searchers may indeed result
in inferior SAR performance.
