DES Launch
14. Why do we Need Clinical Trial Studies?
• R&D: hardware and software
Translational Continuum
R&D Pilot/Feasibility/POC Medical Practice/Evidence-based claims

The DES Study
• Pilot/POC: context
• Evidence-based claims: Does it improve current practice?
15. Why for Drone-Enabled SAR?
SAR & drones save lives – therefore, they
deserve to be treated seriously.
16. DES Study – RCT Design
• Control (no-drone arm) v Active (drone arm)
• Randomization: random allocation between 2 arms
• Primary Efficacy Measure: Time to Locate (TTL)
17. DES Study - Goals
• Sample size and effect size
- why 50, why 3 sites, why 4 fields
• Primary efficacy comparison: difference in the TTL between
drone and no-drone arm
• Secondary efficacy comparisons
23. 23 out of 30 (77%)
Locate Success Rate;
- Drone-Enabled SAR
24. Why 85% vs 77% Success Rate?
Traditional SAR has decades of Experience
Knowing where victim is NOT -
allows for safe & effective ground operation
Many Traditional SAR Research Studies
