Combat Automation for Airborne Weapon Systems: Man/Machine Interface Trends and Technologies (L'Automatisation du Combat Aerien: Tendances et Technologies pour l'Interface Homme/Machine)
Abstract
Recent advances in combat automation technologies offer significant potential for improving overall mission effectiveness. Development of advanced situational awareness display concepts, parallel distributed computer architecture and tactical information fusion techniques have paved the way for new operational capabilities and weapon system employment tactics. Harnessing these innovative technologies is critically dependent upon establishing an effective and intuitive pilot vehicle interface. Presentation of accurate situational data at the right time in an appropriate format remains a significant challenge. Effective combat systems must employ anticipatory control laws, data management and display techniques. Consequential trend information based on both current decisions and alternative courses of action is essential. Future manned fighter systems must be capable of providing automated command guidance and signal limiting when appropriate. Additionally, future systems must also correctly harmonize the automatic functions consistent with the pilot's intention and total tactical situation....
