This study investigated mission effectiveness in the hybrid systems collaboration of small-unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAV) in search and rescue (SAR) land operations. Many SAR organizations use private commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) sUAV systems in the national airspace. However, this approach lacks the necessary research background to support collaboration. Due to this lack of scientific studies, the National Aeronautical Space Administration (NASA) and the Federal Aviation Authority issued a joint invitation to the academic community to specifically research the collaborative use of COTS sUAV in SAR operations. The following research questions guided the present study: Research Question 1: To what extent do the means of the outcome variable (OV, mission effectiveness) differ between Groups 1, 2, and 3 (Group 1, SRU Ground; Group 2, SRU Aerial (sUAV); and Group 3, SRU Hybrid)? Research Question 2: To what extent does predictor variable's (PV) performance by group contribute to the variance in mission effectiveness? This study used multi-attribute utility theory as a quantitative methodology and a quasi-experimental explanatory and predictive research design to measure the influences of hybrid collaboration on mission effectiveness. The population included all sUAV and SAR operations in U.S. national parks. The United States Coast Guard conducted search experiments in five selected national parks to obtain the settings and secondary data. A second seminal NASA study provided search programming using a UAV as well as secondary data. From the population, a sample of 374 simulated missions (n = 374) was computed, involving the above three groups. Predictor variable (PV) attributes, characteristics, and performance were measured as influences on each mission to determine mission effectiveness. The results of Hypothesis Test #1 reject the H01 hypothesis that there is no difference between the means of the OV. Thus, accepts Ha1, which states that there are significant differences according to at least one of the pairwise comparisons between group types. Hypothesis Test #2 rejects the H02 hypothesis with evidence that one of the PVs was statistically significant and accepts Ha2 while controlling for the direct effects of the PVs. The findings support the baseline use of COTS sUAV, as controlled by information technology software systems, for integrating hybrid collaboration in SAR operations. Future research should build upon these findings by incorporating specialized technology for detection, multi-view transmissions, and mobile base operations to further investigate hybrid system collaboration efficiency.
