Soldier Decision Making&Comms Performance AdvTech
Abstract
This Project integrates research, theory and applied operations to maximize effectiveness of Soldiers and their equipment. Efforts in this Project support early application of Human Systems Integration (HSI) by translating research findings into performance-based design criteria for use in the Army's requirements definition process and materiel acquisition process for Army Modernization. Application of this work will yield reduced workload, fewer errors, reduced task times, enhanced Soldier protection, user acceptance, and allow the Soldier to extract maximum performance from the equipment. Major efforts address Soldier cognitive load and cognitive fusion research, advanced aircraft design to include flight in degraded visual environments, and development of human performance measures and methods to address current and future human system integration challenges. Individual efforts exploit adaptive learning methods and strategies, applied methods to accelerate expertise development, integration of displays for ease of use and optimized situational awareness, and development of technical frameworks for crew automation integration in Command and Control Systems (C2). Efforts also support flight crew decision-aiding and autonomy, advanced crew station design for aircraft, full mission operations in degraded visual environments, and advanced manned-unmanned teaming concepts. Results of these efforts are transitioned to the Program Executive Offices (PEO), Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Army Medical Command (MEDCOM), Human Systems Integration (HSI) Directorate (Army G1), and Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC). This effort complements work done in PE 0602143A Soldier Lethality Technology, Project BC3 Soldier Decision Making & Communications Performance Technology. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. FY 2020 realignments are due to financial restructuring in support of Army Modernization Priorities. Work in this Project is performed by the U.S. Army Futures Command (AFC).
