Man and Machine Interaction on the Future Battlefield

Abstract

Lessons learned from Project Perilous are used to develop a future unmanned system employment concept, that of a human analog Artificial Intelligence (AI). The function of the AI is to manage and prioritize the information flowing to and from the operator so that he or she may focus the preponderance of their attention elsewhere. The AI concept was incorporated in an operational decision game (ODG) to assess potential benefits. The ODG indicated that information processing speeds will be limited so long as humans are in the unmanned system decision making loop. The AI concept was updated to operate autonomously thereby capturing the full benefits of an AIs processing advantage over humans.
