Dynamic Function Allocation in Fighter Cockpits.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate alternatives for allocating the tasks associated with defensive counter measures in a fighter cockpit environment. The three methods allocated the functions either totally to the operator or a simulated expert system and dynamically at the operator's request to either. The analysis of the objective data showed there were no significant performance differences among the three treatment conditions. However, the analysis of post treatment subjective data showed the subjects did have confidence in the simulated expert system's ability to handle the threats (p < .01) and they had a significant preference for some form of computer assistance during the missions (p < .01).
