Workflow: UAV Mission Execution
Step 1: Pre-Flight
- Verify aircraft status (green indicators)
- Confirm flight plan uploaded
- Check weather and airspace
- Arm aircraft when ready
Step 2: Launch & Transit
- Command takeoff
- Monitor telemetry during climb
- Verify route adherence
- Check signal strength
Step 3: On-Station Operations
- Activate sensor/camera
- Control gimbal for target area
- Mark points of interest
- Record video as needed
Step 4: Recovery
- Command return to home
- Monitor approach
- Verify landing area clear
- Land and disarm
Workflow: Defense Engagement
Step 1: Detection
- Monitor radar coverage displays
- Observe new track appearance
- Classify track (hostile/unknown)
- Assess threat priority
Step 2: Assessment
- Review track parameters (speed, altitude)
- Calculate time-to-impact
- Determine engagement window
- Select appropriate weapon system
Step 3: Engagement
- Pair weapon to target
- Verify engagement parameters
- Monitor intercept timeline
- Assess battle damage
Step 4: Re-Engagement
- Evaluate intercept success
- Update track status
- Re-engage if necessary
- Document outcome
