Analysis of Crew/Cockpit Models for Advanced Aircraft.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine five active computer models of the aircrew/cockpit system, and to determine their relevance to current and future attack aircraft. The models were compared in terms of their general structure, input requirements, output options, and their sensitivity to a wide variety of equipment, mission, and operator characteristics. The models reviewed are similar in several important respects: They all require a detailed mission scenario and task analysis to steer the simulation; all require data on performance time and accuracy as inputs; and all generate outputs related to operator task load. The models differ widely in their sensitivity to significant variables. Recommendations for future work are presented. (Author)
