Crewed un-crewed teaming model - A human factors design perspective

1:10 PM - 1:30 PM

Promotional description

Are humans capable of controlling more than one uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) alongside a pilot flying a fast jet? Will this alter task complexity and ability of pilots to remotely control these aircraft alongside a multi-disciplinary team with the goal to execute the required flight.

Crewed-Uncrewed Teaming (CUC-T) operations are likely to place high cognitive workload demands on a UAV pilot’s attention, potentially impacting the level of situational awareness able to be sustained.

This presentation utilises the Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork (EAST) which is a human factors (HF) method. It integrates a collection of methods that together assess the performance of human–technical systems. EAST follows a “networks of networks” approach where we describe the interlinked models that are used to describe and analyse system (which includes the human) activity.

Currently, there is limited access to research of this model within this domain. The presenters have completed research which will provide insight into an area that is considered a frontier of emerging technology.

Learning outcomes

1. Understand some of the complexities associated with the design and development of a CUC-T system
2. Gain awareness of methodologies to assess teamwork within a system of systems
3. Obtain insight into the application of cognitive psychology in the area of human factors
