In dynamic operational situations, the first hour counts. What matters is not only the flight, but the complete data chain all the way to the command post.
Key points
- Alerting and launch windows must be clearly defined.
- Image and thermal-image data need a consistent handover.
- Documentation must not happen only at the end; it starts from minute one.
Operational benefit
When the chain runs cleanly, friction losses in the command staff decrease and prioritisation becomes faster.
Next step
For BOS teams with a regular operational volume, a standardised BOS intake profile is recommended, including urgency questions and automatic lead assignment.
