Multi-UAV Supervisory Control Interface Technology (MUSCIT)
Abstract
The tremendous success of UAVs has seen the role of unmanned systems expand well beyond the mission for which they were originally intended. One can hardly imagine a role which unmanned systems will not eventually be applied. The future use of UAVs secure, the challenge for unmanned air systems (UAS) developers has shifted from one of demonstrating their value on the battlefield to one of increasing the efficiency of their use. The Multi-UAV Supervisory Control Interface Technology (MUSCIT) program, a research initiative sponsored by the Air Force's Supervisory Control Interface Branch of the Human Effectiveness Directorate (711HPW/RHCI), was tasked to investigate operator interface control issues associated with multi-UAV control. The focus of this effort was to investigate automation and interface technologies that will reverse the status quo to move from multiple operators per vehicle to multiple vehicles per single operator.
