1 UAV Operator Interface Research at AFRL/HEC May 24, 2004 Mark H. Draper, Ph.D. AFRL/HECI
2 Presentation Outline Problem/Context AFRL/HEC Overview Advanced Controls and Displays for Predator Interface Research: Multi-UAV Supervisory Control Control/display concepts & software framework Real-time UCAV operator state assessments & adaptive interfaces Situation assessment & decision support tools Summary 2
3 UAVs: Promises and Realities It shall be a goal of the Armed Forces to achieve the fielding of unmanned, remotely controlled technology such that by 2010, one-third of the aircraft in the operational deep strike force aircraft fleet are unmanned Defense Authorization Conference Bill - H.R It s an extremely fragile aircraft extremely pilotunfriendly. Unmanned aerospace vehicles (UAVs) are the hallmark of our future Dr. James Roche, Oct 2001 ng ns Increasing UAV Focus UAV Investment You have a two dimensional image and you re flying without all of your senses. I hope I ve demonstrated personally my commitment to UAVs, I am committed Gen. John Jumper,Sept 2001 A good number of them were lost - operator error. It s hard to land this thing. Fundi (Billio ) It s like driving your car with paper towel tubes over your eyes Danger is that you get too focused on what you can see, and neglect what you can t see 80-'89 90-'99 00-'10 Piloting is an intensely visual task. Gone are the large field of regard, the subtle seat-of-the-pants inputs and numerous Decade clues which allow better SA 3
4 Vision: Multi-UAV Supervisory Control by Single Operator Requires Increasing: UAV autonomy UAV intelligence : : :3? Operator s role must change Introducing autonomous agents changes the cooperative structure, creating new roles, new knowledge requirements, new judgments, new demands for attention, and new coordinative activities. Failing to address these leads to patterns of breakdowns and automation surprises. (Patterson et al., 1998) 4
5 Human-Automation Systems Lessons Added Learned UAV from Design Automated Constraints: Cockpits Added UAV Design Constraints: Most difficulties related Remote to lack of operation mode awareness and to gaps in pilots mental models of Remote the functional operation structure of the automation. of of Surprised pilots when time Multiple was critical. vehicles Multiple vehicles with Pilot anxiety about what the system with was/will be doing Added vehicle intelligence, Added vehicle intelligence, Limited comm bandwidth, Limited comm bandwidth, Automation heightens need for feedback. and Automation does not have uniform and effect on workload Lengthy system time delays Lengthy system time delays How is it done today and what are the limitations of the current practice? Automation should be viewed as operator aid, not simply replacement Advances in human-system integration technologies are required SA is everything & includes automation awareness: Is the aircraft to conduct increasingly complex UAV missions doing what was planned? AF SAB Summer Study on UAVs,

7 Predator-focused UAV Operator Interface Research
8 Research Objective What are we trying to do? Design and evaluate multi-sensory interface technologies and visualization techniques to improve UAV operator performance, increase operator situational awareness (SA) and manage workload. 8
9 Why Multi-Sensory Interfaces? Multi-sensory Interfaces Facilitate simultaneous tasks (Wickens, 91) Offload the visual channel (Tannen et al., 00) Increase telepresence (NASA X-36 operator, 99) Expand display real estate (Nelson, et al., 98) Enhance SA of automation (Sklar & Sarter, 99) Improve control procedures (Williamson, 00) Research Issues Information display Display dimensionality Simultaneous global/local SA Inattentional blindness Intuitive control 9
