Abstract
Situation awareness is essential for ensuring safety in hazardous environments, where timely and accurate information is critical for decision-making. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs) have emerged as valuable tools in enhancing situation awareness by providing real-time data and monitoring capabilities in high-risk areas. This study explores the integration of advanced technologies, focusing on imaging and sensor technologies such as thermal, spectral, and multispectral cameras, deployed in critical zones. By merging these technologies into UAV platforms, responders gain access to essential real-time information while reducing human exposure to hazardous conditions. This study presents case studies and practical applications, highlighting the effectiveness of these technologies in a range of hazardous situations.
