## Article

There is an increasing demand for UAVs to be deployed for humanitarian purposes. They have been used as low-cost, rapid-response platforms, performing damage assessments in disaster zones such as the city of Tacloban during Typhoon Haiyan [1], and for transporting medical supplies in rural areas [2]. The biennial UAV Outback Challenge held in Australia serves as a testing ground for developing Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) capable of search and rescue (SAR) operations [3]. Humanitarian UAS are often operated by non-technical personnel such as healthcare or rescue personnel; hence they must be user friendly [2]. The design of the UAS must be simple and accessible, yet reliable. For example, reliable communication is required between the UAV and GCS, so that the ground operators can monitor the UAV status or execute mission critical commands. At the same time, the system should be sufficiently autonomous such that minimal interventions are required during a mission, so that the ground operators would not be overwhelmed by the complexity of operations [4]. pdf : https://www.mdpi.com/2504-446X/5/2/48/pdf
