In the SkyHunter system, all work is organized through crews.
A crew is a separate working group of operators that has its own UAVs, targets, and event logs.

In the personal dashboard, the user can:

• view the list of available crews;
• create new crews (if they have the appropriate permissions);
• add or remove members;
• manage data access.

To navigate to crew management, click Manage Crews, located on the left side of the interface.

If no crews have been created yet, the system will display a corresponding message.

Creating a New Crew

To create a new crew, click the Create Crew button.

In the crew creation form, you need to:

• set a crew name (it is recommended to use a clear and identifiable name, for example: Alpha-1, Sector-East, Recon-Team-3);
• verify the entered data;
• click the Create button.

After confirmation, the newly created crew will appear in the general crew list.
From this point, you can proceed to configure the team composition.

Adding Members to a Crew

For the crew to function properly, members need to be added to it.

In the crew list, select the desired crew and click Add.

A list of available system users will open.
To add a member to the crew:

1. Find the desired user in the list.
2. Click the Add button next to their name.

After this, the user will be added to the crew and will gain access to its data space according to their role.

Selecting and Locking a Crew (Lock Crew)

To start working with a specific crew, the responsible team member (in the pilot role) must lock the crew to themselves (select it as active).

This is necessary to:

• avoid conflicts during simultaneous work by multiple crew members;
• clearly identify who is responsible for the current session;
• properly save event logs and telemetry.

To do this: Click Choose Crew. A list of crews opens. For each crew, the name is displayed along with lock information if applicable: who is currently controlling this crew. If a crew is occupied, the View button is available (view in observer mode).

For an available crew, the Lock button is available, which locks the crew to the current user. Select the desired crew from the list and click Lock.

After successfully joining, a green banner "You are in ..." appears at the top of the screen. The left panel shows the UAVs and Targets blocks, which are initially empty (if no UAVs have been connected and no targets have been assigned to the crew yet).

After selecting the crew, it becomes active, and all subsequent actions (monitoring, UAV control, working with targets, maintaining logs) are performed within this specific crew.
