Research Directions for Humans in Control of Automated Air Defense Command and Control Systems

Abstract

This report describes work performed during the second year of the project titled Command and Control Decision Making Requirements During Engagement Operations. The work involves the development of a human performance and training testbed for automated air defense command and control. The testbed is a flexible simulation capability for the study of issues involving human performance and training in a complex supervisory control setting. The first portion of the report addresses the testbed's objectives and integration concept. Next, the report outlines a concept for human supervisory control of a complex, automated process control environment. This concept is referred to as intelligent rule-based supervisory control, or IRBSC. IRBSC involves cooperative control of a real-time process by human operators and an expert system embedded in the command and control computer. Finally, the report outlines a research agenda for using the testbed to explore human performance, training, and performance support issues for real-time command and control systems
