TL;DR: This paper addresses the application of SA-Oriented Design principles to the development of collaborative control interfaces that enable small co-located or distributed teams of operators to plan and manage multiple UVs while supporting high levels of situation awareness (SA) while improving knowledge construction and collaborative teamwork.
Abstract: The cognitive processes underlying collaboration and knowledge interoperability are challenged in team-based multi-vehicle supervisory control beyond those typically found in solitary unmanned vehicle (UV) control. This paper addresses the application of SA-Oriented Design principles to the development of collaborative control interfaces that enable small co-located or distributed teams of operators to plan and manage multiple UVs while supporting high levels of situation awareness (SA) while improving knowledge construction and collaborative teamwork. Following this approach, Goal Directed Task Analyses for three separate unmanned systems were combined with a novel concept of operations for the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) platform and the results of subject matter expert role-playing to rapidly prototype the collaborative control interface environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the status of Project 15.2.6 on-going activities is described, where the overall objective is to define the requirements for the future satellite communication system developed in the ESA Iris Programme, to perform the complementary activities of validation and to support the standardization of the new satellite link.
Abstract: SESAR Concept of Operations set out in the SESAR Definition Phase (2006–2008) addressed the issue of the inadequacy of the current ATM communication link identifying new communication technologies that will enable improved voice and data exchanges due to the estimated increase of the flight traffic in the future. Currently SESAR WP15 addresses the non-avionic CNS technologies development and validation comprising the definition of the future mobile datalink systems to serve communication services. Within WP15, the overall objective of the Project 15.2.6 “Future mobile satellite communication” is to define the requirements for the future Satellite Communication System developed in the ESA Iris Programme, to perform the complementary activities of validation and to support the standardization of the new satellite link. The present paper describes the status of P15.2.6 on going activities.

TL;DR: Conclusions are that impact, traceability and hierarchy links promote the anticipation of life cycle process requirements to the early stages of systems architecting and development costs are dramatically reduced while satisfaction of stakeholders over product life cycle is increased.
Abstract: This paper presents a systems concurrent engineering approach for the development of a turbo-generator Traditional approaches focus on the product, development organization and the product concepts of operation (CONOPS) In those approaches the overall view of the inherent complexity in the development of a product, its life cycle processes and their performing organizations are not taken into consideration The systems concurrent engineering performs stakeholder analysis, requirements analysis, functional analysis and implementation architecture analysis, simultaneously, for the product, its life cycle processes and their performing organization From the analysis, requirements and attributes are captured for the product and its life cycle processes organizations and the relationship among them are identified Conclusions are that impact, traceability and hierarchy links promote the anticipation of life cycle process requirements to the early stages of systems architecting Late changes are avoided, development costs are dramatically reduced while satisfaction of stakeholders over product life cycle is increased

TL;DR: During the past 60 years, research in both the nautical and the aeronautical domain has addressed aspects of these challenges and how developments in the area of sensors, processors and display capabilities increased the possibilities to both increase system autonomy and keep the human operator involved with the required authority.
Abstract: An autonomous, adaptive navigation system, tightly coupled with the overall mission management system, can provide unmanned systems with the capability to autonomously change and execute mission plans. Legislative issues, the difficulty to meet the extremely high reliability requirements of an autonomous collision avoidance function and the associated development and certification challenges can all be reasons to limit the authority of such an adaptive system by involving/requiring a human operator at the decision making level. The role of the human operator is to make decisions during situations in which significant changes in the navigation plan are needed to accomplish the mission. Such a concept of operation imposes specific challenges that must be addressed during the design of the systems that support the operator with this supervisory task. The paper starts with addressing the commonality in the associated challenges between nautical and aeronautical platforms and between manned and unmanned systems. It will be illustrated how during the past 60 years, research in both the nautical and the aeronautical domain has addressed aspects of these challenges and how developments in the area of sensors, processors and display capabilities increased the possibilities to both increase system autonomy and keep the human operator involved with the required authority. Following this background, it will be discussed how components of a system designed to support a UAS pilot with the separation assurance task have been re-used in the realization of a prototype operator support system for an unmanned vessel, the CSHIELD platform. Results of an initial simulation-based evaluation are also presented.
