Fusion Framework: Research Testbed for Human-Autonomy Teaming

Abstract

Future unmanned systems operators and heterogeneous unmanned systems must be able to work as agile synchronous teams to complete tactical reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition related missions. Interface research in this area is critical to the success of human-automation teaming, thus requiring a research test bed that brings together humans, autonomy, and systems. Fusion is a framework that enables natural human interaction with flexible and adaptive automation. There are four primary research threads that the Fusion framework is addressing to accomplish these goals: cloud-based simulation architecture, software extensibility, interface instrumentation, and human- autonomy dialog through retrospection.
