Interfacing ACT-R 5.0 to an Uninhabited Air Vehicle (UAV) Synthetic Task Environment (STE)

We have attached ACT-R to the Air Force Research Laboratory’s (AFRL’s) Uninhabited Air Vehicle (UAV) Synthetic Task Environment (STE). The UAV STE is a high fidelity simulation of the Predator RQ1A UAV with built in basic maneuvering, landing, and reconnaissance tasks and data collection capabilities. The UAV STE’s design and capabilities are described in detail in Schreiber, Lyon, Martin, and Confer (2002). We are currently finishing up the modeling of the basic maneuvering task and have begun the modeling of the reconnaissance task. Details about the ACT-R model of basic maneuvering can be found in Gluck, Ball, Krusmark, Rodgers, and Purtee (2003) and in Ball, Gluck, Krusmark, and Rodgers (2003).
