Unmanned Aircraft System / Remotely Piloted Aircraft (UAS/RPA) Human Factors and Human Systems Integration Research Workshop Held in Dayton, Ohio on November 8-9, 2011
Abstract
This document is a summary of the proceedings of the Unmanned Aircraft System / Remotely Piloted Aircraft (UAS/RPA) Human Factors and Human Systems Integration Research Workshop, hosted by the Naval Medical Research Unit - Dayton. The workshop was held 8-9 November 2011 in Dayton, OH. The goal of the workshop was to identify, discuss, and eventually address science and technology (S&T) research gaps related to a range of UAS/RPA Human Factors and Human Systems Integration Research topics. To accomplish this, the workshop brought together UAS researchers and other subject matter experts from across the Navy, Air Force, and Army. Ten speakers presented overviews of past, present, and future UAS/RPA research efforts and introduced a broad spectrum of issues currently facing the UAS/RPA discipline. Major discussion topics included: UAS operator selection, training, control station design, manpower and scheduling, manned-unmanned aircraft teaming, motion sickness, and medical standards. The goal of the workshop, and this report, is to provide a mechanism for information exchange, to enhance government agency coordination, and to provide guidance for UAS topic areas that require future research. Section 1 lists the organizing committee members and the workshop agenda. Section 2 provides a summary of each brief, capturing the essence of the various presentations. Each summary was written by the authors of this report and approved and/or edited by the original presenter. Section 3 lists the top UAS/RPA S&T research gaps identified by workshop attendees, and Section 4 provides recommendations for future research directions.
