Abstract
As we have found, having been living with the Covid-19 Coronavirus, and experiencing the impact the response to the pandemic has had on our day to day activities and freedoms, we can reflect with some hindsight on whether the correct action has been taken, but were the Responders correctly equipped to respond differently, and were we in a position to actually equip them any differently? What are the priorities within the non-function attributes of the systems we employ, based on the scenarios we are faced with? In different times and in different places we have different requirements, and thus need different things from our equipment. These reflections on what has been experienced propose what Responders should expect from the equipment they are provided to carry out their vital role. The intention of this chapter is the run through an exercise that it is hope will prove inciteful for those planning or executing such operations.
