Usability of Information in Battle Management Operations (1'Exploitation de l'information dans les operations de gestion du champ de bataille)

Abstract

New information technology promises more information and advanced automated functions in future cockpits of military aircraft. However the cognitive human capabilities stay the same. This may result in an overload of the human pilot. Cognitive assistant systems are being developed to compensate for this mismatch. This paper introduces principals of cognitive systems which exhibit human-like capabilities as interpretation and diagnosis of the situation, planning and decision making. Furthermore, CAMA (Crew Assistant Military Aircraft), a prototype of a cognitive assistant system, will be introduced. CAMA's functionality will be shown and some results from flight simulator test runs will be presented.
