ABSTRACT

Rapid and effective disaster management is crucial following the occurrence of natural hazards, with emergency supplies delivery being a pivotal task that directly impacts the survival and safety of affected individuals. As unmanned systems are increasingly applied to emergency supplies delivery, it is essential to manage and allocate of various equipment from a systematic perspective to leverage the advantages of unmanned systems. One key research point is on evaluating the effectiveness of the emergency supplies delivery System of Systems (ESDSoS). This paper assessed the effectiveness of the ESDSoS using a functional dependency network analysis (FDNA) method and further analyzed potential directions in which unmanned systems could enhance the effectiveness of this system. Case studies are also provided to illustrate the points made in the paper.

Keywords: FDNA, Disaster management, Effectiveness analysis, Unmanned system, System of systems, Supplies delivery.
