“…For this reason, it is important that organisations doing BVLOS operations in forest environments have ensured that CRM training is provided, either internally or externally, to staff to ensure that multi-crew operations are effectively managed. While limited, there is already some literature that supports the need for CRM training for large and complex unmanned aircraft operations [96][97][98].…”

This article presents a review about Beyond Visual Line Of Sight (BVLOS) operations using unmanned aircraft in forest environments. Forest environments present unique challenges for unmanned aircraft operations due to the presence of trees as obstacles, hilly terrain, and remote areas. BVLOS operations help overcome some of these unique challenges; however, these are not widespread due to a number of technical, operational, and regulatory considerations. To help progress the application of BVLOS unmanned aircraft operations in forest environments, this article reviews the latest literature, practices, and regulations, as well as incorporates the practical experience of the authors. The unique characteristics of the operating environment are addressed alongside a clear argument as to how BVLOS operations can help overcome key challenges. The international regulatory environment is appraised with regard to BVLOS operations, highlighting differences between countries, despite commonalities in the considerations that they take into account. After addressing these points, technological, operational, and other considerations are presented and may be taken into account when taking a risk-based approach to BVLOS operations, with gaps for future research to address clearly highlighted. In totality, this article provides a practical understanding of how BVLOS unmanned aircraft operations can be done in forest environments, as well as provides a basis for future research into the topic area.

“…Due to this complexity, human satellite operators and the spacecraft, or autonomous agent, function as a team [33]. While not explicitly stated, the concept of human operators and autonomous agents working together points to the idea of crew resource management (CRM), where both entities operate as a crew working toward a common goal [34,35,36,37]. Communication between the autonomous agent and humans exists within the environment, as seen in the human factors SHELL model where the liveware, hardware, and software work together [18].Complacency may occur due to automation bias when humans defer decision-making and authority to more complex autonomous agents [38].…”

“…CRM training levies an emphasis on communication [34,35,37,74]. CRM indoctrination focuses on members working as a team rather than a group of separate individuals working together [34].…”

“…Increased automation has been shown to decrease sensory cueing, resulting in detrimental decreases in situational awareness during RPA operations [98,99]. RPA operations may benefit from CRM training to mitigate HITL fatigue and vigilance-induced error [34].RPA operations that do not adequately employ proper CRM create issues with air traffic control and crewed aircraft [35]. Loss of communications has been an issue when incorporating RPAs into the National Airspace System (NAS) [87].…”

“…According to Neff, "in order to ensure the safety of all operators in the NAS, CRM should be part of an overall safety management system implemented and practiced by all operators and overseen by the [Federal Aviation Administration] FAA" [35, p. 7]. Salas et al [36,74] highlight requirements for practical CRM training while Neff [35] complemented the studies conducted by Salas et al [36] when he analyzed four RPA CRMrelated human factors incidents which could have been mitigated by practical CRM training and implementation.…”

Satellite operations are a subset of remote operations that draw similarities with remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) and uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) operations. Increased research into boredom, complacency, habituation, and vigilance as they relate to satellite operations is required due to a lack of prevalence in the literature. Circadian rhythms, crew resource management, and shift work dynamics may exacerbate complacency-driven automation bias and social loafing errors in satellite operations. This overview of theory and applications aims to specifically focus on satellite operations literature within human factors research to identify areas requiring an expansion of knowledge. The human-in-the-loop commonality enables human factors lessons to be passed to satellite operations from unrelated sectors to mitigate catastrophic human error potentially. As such, this literature review details the need for increased research in satellite operations human factors.
