Using Observer Ratings to Assess Situation Awareness

Abstract

This chapter reviews the development and use of observational measures to assess situation awareness among fighter pilots. The chapter begins with a general description of air combat and situation awareness. The next two sections summarize the general approach and the results of this effort. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages with this approach and some general comments on the problems involved in measuring concepts that are as ill-defined as situation awareness (SA).
