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.arrow_forwardAccording to purpose, exploratory research focuses on expanding knowledge on current issues through a process of data collection by describing, explaining, and validating the findings. a.
