Development of a Human Performance Model of a UAV Sensor Operator: Lessons Learned
Abstract
This report consists of five parts. Part one introduces the concepts of human-in-the-loop (HITL) virtual simulation, modeling and constructive simulation, and the human as an information processor. Part two introduces the constructive modeling tool used in the current study, the Combat Automation Requirements Testbed (CART), and briefly reviews two recent case studies where it was applied. Part three describes the effort to develop an in-house constructive simulation capability. Part four documents the development of a human performance model (HPM) for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) sensor operator (SO). HPM development activities included the creation of a mission scenario, identification of functions and tasks performed by a UAV SO on a typical mission, and model development (e.g., function and task decomposition, workload and response time estimation, and modeling). Part five summarizes lessons learned and proposes potential future activities.
