AB Accurate victim localization in Remote, Outdoor, Unstructured, and Disaster (ROUD) scenarios remains a significant challenge due to limited infrastructure, complex terrains, and time constraints inherent in Search and Rescue (SAR) operations. This article introduces an innovative real-time positioning system that leverages Fine Time Measurement (FTM), a feature of the IEEE 802.11mc amendment, to detect WiFi-enabled devices typically carried by potential victims. The system integrates a Hybrid Wireless Sensor Network (H-WSN) composed of static and mobile anchors mounted on Uncrewed Ground and Aerial Vehicles (UGVs and UAVs), within a Robot Operating System (ROS)-based architecture. A centralized Feedback Information System (FIS) processes real-time RTT data from the field, executes a multilateration algorithm, and provides live geolocation updates to SAR coordinators.
