TLDR
This article investigates if the model offered by Salas et al. is applicable to a TAU of fighter aircraft and discusses implications for the design of future decision-support systems that support team effectiveness.Abstract:
Effective team work is regarded as a key factor for success in missions performed by fighter aircraft in a Tactical Air Unit TAU. Many factors contribute to how a team will succeed in their mission. From the existing literature on teamwork, Salas, Sims and Burke [1], suggested five main factors and three supporting mechanisms for effective team work. These were proposed as the "Big Five" of teamwork. This article investigates if the model offered by Salas et al. is applicable to a TAU of fighter aircraft. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six fighter pilots. The results of these interviews imply that the model has relevance for the teamwork in a TAU. Moreover, this paper discusses implications for the design of future decision-support systems that support team effectiveness.read more

Towards Enhanced Tactical Support Systems
TL;DR: Fighter pilots operate high-performing powerful aircraft, equipped with complex sensor systems, in a dynamic and hostile environment, and need to have control over their own aircraft as well as that of other pilots.

Fighter pilots' teamwork: a descriptive study
TL;DR: The results show that domain-specific application and modification is needed in order for the model to capture fighter pilot’s teamwork, which provides deeper understanding of the working conditions for teams of pilots and gives design implications for how tactical support systems can enhance teamwork in the domain.

Elements of team effectiveness: A qualitative study with pilots
TL;DR: A model of task performance for military fighter pilots based on the teamwork model “Big Five” proposed by Salas, Sims, and Burke, which consists of eight teamwork elements that are essential for successful team performance is presented.

Is there a “Big Five” in Teamwork?:
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that it is possible to boil down what researchers know about teamwork into five core components that the authors submit as the "Big Five" in teamwork, i.e., team leadership, mutual performance monitoring, backup behavior, adaptability, and team orientation.

Work teams applications and effectiveness
TL;DR: Work teams are defined as interdependent collections of individuals who share responsibility for specific outcomes for their organizations as discussed by the authors, and they have been used in many applications, such as advice and involvement, production and service, and action and negotiation.
The use of structural equation modeling to describe the effect of operator functional state on air-to-air engagement outcomes
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that computing evidence of the operative usefulness of a new system is crucial in large system development processes concerning billions of euros or dollars, although it is obvious that the human of the human is not the best person to evaluate the usefulness of new systems.
