Chapter 18. Conclusions

This underlying report describes how HFM-170 successfully developed and demonstrated pertinent supervisory control human-system interface design practices and operator interface concepts for Uninhabited Vehicles (UVs) network-centric operations. In a series of 14 specific Technology Demonstrations (TDs) it was shown that the operator’s role is...

Chapter 1. Introduction

A total of 15 TDs were included as part of HFM-170. These TDs are listed in Figure 1-3, along with the Host country. TDs focused on many critical issues including multi-vehicle control, manned-unmanned teaming, human-automation interaction, telepresence interfaces, delegation interfaces, vehicle hand-offs, operator workload adaptive systems,...

Chapter 9. Remote Auditory Target Detection Using an Unmanned Vehicle- Comparison between a Telepresence Headtracking 3D Audio Setup and a Joystick Controlled System with a Directional Microphone

Non-parametric Wilcoxon Matched Pairs tests show that the percentage correct target ID in the Telepresence condition is significantly higher (87.5%) than in both Mono-Joystick (61.5%; p < .05) and Mono-Headtracking (64.6%; p < .005); Mono-Headtracking and MJ do not differ (p = .51). The repeated measures ANOVA on time to target identification...
