Some Human Factors Design Principles for Effective Visualization and Collaboration of Military Operations

Abstract

Example Questions from the Experiment: Data-based search vs. map-based search -- Where is the aircraft that is closest to the carrier? What is the platform of the aircraft with track number 7022? Single attribute vs. comparison -- Where is the Strike aircraft with call sign Checkerboard 327? What is the call sign of the aircraft with the lowest fuel level? Single mission vs. all aircraft -- Where is the (DCA) aircraft with the fewest weapons? Comparisons Among Assets: Where is the strike aircraft with the lowest fuel level? Comparisons were slower than Singles -- e.g. Searching the geoplot and remembering previous values * Except for RG -- Sorting and comparing down a column * For comparisons, RG was 42% faster than Basic.
