Analyses of Selected LHX Mission Functions: Implications for Operator Workload and System Automation Goals

Abstract

Twenty-nine Light Helicopter Experimental (LHX) scout and attack mission segments were analyzed for excessive workload. Each of the mission segments was broken down into critical flight control, support, and mission functions, and positioned on a mission timeline. Functional analyses were performed by identifying the critical performance elements with their man- machine interface. Sensory, cognitive, and psychomotor workload and durations were estimated for each performance element.
