On the Importance of Program Intelligence to Advanced Automation in Flight Operations.
Abstract
In today's sophisticated aircraft, much emphasis has been placed on the acquiring of and the displaying to the pilot an ever increasing amount of information obtained during flight missions. This has resulted in increased workloads for the pilot which force him to evaluate highly complex sets of input data, to decide upon courses of action, and then to implement those actions in minimal times. Such a situation is seen as undesirable because it increases the pilot's chances for making errors which consequently lowers the probability of mission success. In order to continuously provide low workloads and, hence, more safety for the pilot, his crew and the aircraft itself, the Coordinated Science Laboratory has developed a system which relieves the pilot of having to deal with many situations which would detract from his overall mission goals. This intelligent, computer-aided decision making system (CADM) works cooperatively with the pilot in order to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its crew, thereby allowing the accomplishment of successful missions.
