Application of Intelligent Aiding to Enable Single Operator Multiple UAV Supervisory Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
Under the sponsorship of the Air Force Research Laboratory, a development team has been defining a set of intelligent tools that will enable a single non-rated operator to provide supervisory control of multiple unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) engaged in tactical support to ground forces. Early work has defined concepts for the operator-system relationship, identified functional requirements, and produced analytical estimates of the relative effectiveness of three alternative levels of automated assistance to the user. The results suggest that higher levels of automated support will significantly leverage the span of attention and span of control of the operator, while reducing workload to a

Auditory Decision Aiding in Supervisory Control of Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
OBJECTIVE This article is an investigation of the effectiveness of sonifications, which are continuous auditory alerts mapped to the state of a monitored task, in supporting unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) supervisory control. BACKGROUND UAV supervisory control requires monitoring a UAV across multiple tasks (e.g., course maintenance) via a predominantly visual display, which currently is suppo...
متن کاملThe Impact of Intelligent Aiding for Multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Schedule Management
There is increasing interest in designing systems such that the current many-to-one ratio of operators to unmanned vehicles (UVs) can be inverted. Instead of lower-level tasks performed by today’s UV teams, the sole operator would focus on high-level supervisory control tasks. A key challenge in the design of such single-operator systems will be the need to minimize periods of excessive workloa...
متن کاملPredicting Operator Capacity for Supervisory Control of Multiple UAVs
With reduced radar signatures, increased endurance and the removal of humans from immediate threat, uninhabited (also known as unmanned) aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become indispensable assets to militarized forces. UAVs require human guidance to varying degrees and often through several operators. However, with current military focus on streamlining operations, increasing automation, and reduc...
متن کاملA Literature Review on Operator Interface Technologies for Network Enabled Operational Environments Using Complex System Analysis
A literature review was conducted to examine existing and potential advanced interface technologies for supervisory control of multiple heterogeneous assets (e.g., UAV swarming) in a NEO environment. These technologies include behavioural-based interface design approaches, physiological-based interface design approaches, and multi-agent interface design and implementation methodologies. The emp...
