Global Air Mobility Advanced Technologies (GAMAT) Advanced Technology Development (ATD) Phase II Research and Development

Abstract

This is the final report documenting the AFRL/HEC effort entitled Global Air Mobility Advanced Technologies (GAMAT) in its 'Phase II' period. The Phase II effort was undertaken as an extension and expansion of the GAMAT Phase I effort. This demonstration capability was developed under the Air Force Research Laboratory Human Effectiveness Directorate's Global Air Mobility Advanced Technologies (GAMAT) Advanced Technology Development (ATD) research and development program. The goal of the GAMAT ATD was to further the development of a new type of user interface technology called Work-Centered Support System (WCSS) technology. The U.S. Air Force's Air Mobility Command's command and control environment was used as the domain for development, testing and refinement of WCSS theories and technology applications. Work-Centered Support System (WCSS) technology is a new cognitive-science-based analysis and design methodology for developing human-computer interfaces and client applications that enable very high user productivity, especially in dynamic and information dense environments. The WCSS technology is applicable to any domain and leverages cognitive analyses and advanced user interface design techniques to provide 'intuitive' user interfaces and client applications customized based on the work requirements. The analysis and design approach is designed to support rapid user adaptation to both routine and non-routine/unexpected events.
