5.2.4. Mission Execution

Once the plans for a shooting mission have been computed and validated, the director can select any valid combination of mission and SAS roles to execute. This is done by triggering a "run" command from the Dashboard, which will notify the Mission Controller to start the selected missions/SASs. The execution of a selected SAS can be monitored in real-time through a dedicated page of the Dashboard, as illustrated in Figure 8. The page shows information about the corresponding mission, including mission metadata (e.g., name, role, date, and a countdown timer), and associated SASs. Selecting a SAS will show the corresponding timelines with the shooting actions involved, as well as the video streams coming from drones cameras, when available. Furthermore, for each drone, a console to manually adjust camera parameters (i.e., gimbal orientation, zoom level, and focus) is shown.
