Automation Architecture for Single Operator, Multiple UAV Command and Control,
(The International Command and Control Journal, 2007)
In light of the Office of the Secretary Defense’s Roadmap for unmanned aircraft systems (UASs), there is a critical need for research examining human interaction with heterogeneous unmanned vehicles. The OSD Roadmap clearly ...
Identifying Predictive Metrics for Supervisory Control of Multiple Robots
(IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2007)
In recent years, much research has focused on making possible single operator control of multiple robots. In these high workload situations, many questions arise including how many robots should be in the team, which ...
Operator Scheduling Strategies in Supervisory Control of Multiple UAVs
(Aerospace Science and Technology, 2007)
The application of network centric operations to time-constrained command and control environments
will mean that human operators will be increasingly responsible for multiple simultaneous supervisory
control tasks. One ...
Effects of Single versus Multiple Warnings on Driver Performance
(2007)
Objective: To explore how a single master alarm system affects drivers’ responses when compared to multiple, distinct warnings. Background: Advanced driver warning systems are intended to improve safety, yet inappropriate ...
Information Requirements for MCM and ISR Missions : PUMA Phase II
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
This document contains display requirements for Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) control
station displays to be used by unmanned vehicle units in support of heterogeneous
unmanned vehicle missions (such as Special Operations ...
Assessing the Impact of Auditory Peripheral Displays for UAV Operators
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
A future implementation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operations is having a single
operator control multiple UAVs. The research presented here explores possible avenues of
enhancing audio cues of UAV interfaces ...
Shadow TUAV Single Operator Consolidation : Display Assessment
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
Currently, Shadow UAV operations require two people: the Air Vehicle Operator (AVO) and the
Mission Payload Operator (MPO). A previous workload study demonstrated that it is possible to
combine these two positions such ...
Assisting Interruption Recovery in Mission Control Operations
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
Frequent interruptions are commonplace in modern work environments. The negative
impacts of interruptions are well documented and include increased task completion and
error rates in individual task activities, as ...
An Experimental Platform for Investigating Decision and Collaboration Technologies in Time-Sensitive Mission Control Operations
(MIT Humans and Automation Laboratory, 2007)
This report describes the conceptual design and detailed architecture of an experimental platform
developed to support investigations of novel decision and collaboration technologies for
complex, time-critical mission ...
The Impact of Intelligent Aiding for Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Schedule Management
(IEEE Intelligent Systems, 2007)
There is increasing interest in designing systems such that the current many-to-one ratio of operators to unmanned vehicles (UVs) can be inverted. Instead of lower-level tasks performed by today’s UV teams, the sole operator ...
