Summary	The proliferation of low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle technologies coupled with the advent of advanced sensors, embedded computing, and robust communication technologies have led to an unprecedented growth within the robotics communities. These new enabling capabilities further provide opportunities to revisit, if not revise, conventional methods for core mission areas, such as search and rescue operations conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard. Based on the foundations of the theory of search, new tactics that explicitly exploit emerging technologies, such as swarm unmanned aerial vehicles, can be more easily designed, developed, simulated, and demonstrated with the availability of such resources.
