Predicting an adequate ratio of Unmanned Vehicles per operator using a system with a mission definition language

Abstract

Abstract-The Department of Defense's future vision for Network Centric Operations (NCO) will increase combat power by networking relevant entities across the battlefield. This will result in highly complex mission scenarios in which the operator's workload will be easily overloaded if the system is not designed to support the mission requirements. New technologies for these complex command and control environments are currently being developed. Evaluating the adequacy of a particular technology for specific mission requirements is critical for military decision makers. This paper will introduce a new approach to model operator and system performance.

The Role of Working Memory in Levels of Situation Awareness

“…Implicit performance SA measurement techniques represent a particularly valuable approach for evaluating how WM affects SA, since these effects may be small and swayed by increased cognitive load or interruptions via other assessment techniques, especially in novices who are already confronted with initially unfamiliar situations and tasks. Interestingly, similar indirect metrics of SA that do not rely on memory are already being integrated into models and simulations (see, e.g., Crandall & Cummings, 2007;Rodas, Szatkowski, & Veronda, 2011).…”

Analysis of Anomaly in the Behavior Characteristics of Operators in HSMM-based Multi-UAV Supervisory Control System

“…In order to realize the manipulation of multi-UAV by single operator, a lot of studies have been conducted in the automation of multi-UAV control and man-machine work allocation, etc. [1]; with the improvement of automation of UAV system, the operation of multi-UAV by single operator will be favourable in the future, and it will also become a significant part in the future network centric warfare [2].…”
