1. A method comprising:
receiving an instruction to locate a target having a known identity specific to the target at an area associated with the target, the target being located proximate an object associated with and different from the target in the area, where an identity of the object is specific to the object;
causing to move a first moving platform to the area, wherein the first moving platform is configured with a first type of sensor;
monitoring the first moving platform attempting to locate the target at the area;
causing to display, on a graphical user interface (GUI) including a first display area reserved for feedback from the first moving platform, image and/or video data captured by the first moving platform in the area associated with the target and/or object;
determining, based upon the image and/or video data displayed in the first display area of the GUI, an indication the first moving platform has failed to locate the target at the area;
causing to initiate, via an interface element on the GUI, a first notification to the first moving platform to return from the area to a deployment station;
causing to initiate, via another interface element on the GUI, a second notification to a second moving platform with a night flight capability to move from the deployment station to the area; and
receiving, based on image and/or video data captured by the second moving platform in the area displayed on a second display area of the GUI, an indication of the target being located at the area.
