The Human Operator in Advanced Aerospace Systems

Abstract

Factors considered by the authors as influencing the planning and management of basic research programs under the aegis of the Life Sciences Directorate, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, in anticipation of the roles and needs of Air Force human operators through the year 2000, are presented. The purpose of this report is to provide the Director of Life Sciences, AFOSR, with the results of an effort to elucidate the roles of the human operators in advanced aerospace systems, to consider the implications of such roles for manning, training, human factors engineering, and operator performance, and to provide recommendations regarding directions for future research in the behavioral and social sciences.
