Effects of Visual Interaction on Unmanned Aircraft Operator Situational Awareness in a Dynamic Simulated Environment

PI Brent Terwilliger

This study represents a longitudinal study to further the findings aof an earlier study examining UAS operator situational awareness.

It is hypothesized that increased situational awareness can be achieved for UAS operators through incorporation of operational reference cues (e.g., aural, vibrational, visual cueing) into the human-machine-interface (HMI) of the UAS ground control station (GCS).
