Eyes on the Mission: Eye-Tracker-Enabled Real-Time Decision Support System in a Simulated Remotely Piloted Aircraft Task Environment
SessionCEDM8: Distributed Work I
DescriptionMission commanders (MC) in command and control (C2) environments face dynamically changing situations regularly. Furthermore, enhanced technologies enable information to be transmitted to the command center interfaces in real time. Consequently, successful decision-making in supervisory control and maintenance of situation awareness demands that the MCs perceive and process large amounts of information displayed on various interfaces. Such exposure to a large volume of information may result in overload and information may not be attended to due to limited attentional resources. Therefore, understanding the interplay between cognitive processes, sensor-based networks, and automation in supervisory control decision-making is crucial to prevent adverse impacts on friendly forces.
A study was conducted in a high-fidelity facility that emulates the military C2 room. It represents the initial findings from the study that evaluated whether real-time eye tracker-enabled decision support tools could aid and enhance MCs' performance in simulated dynamic Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) tasks.
