TL;DR: This report examines several issues concerning the theory and design of adaptive automation in aviation systems, particularly as applied to advanced tactical aircraft, and includes a review of the empirical studies investigating effects of automation on pilot performance.
Abstract: : Recent technological advances have made viable the implementation of intelligent automation in advanced tactical aircraft. The use of this technology has given rise to new human factors issues and concerns. Errors in highly automated aircraft have been linked to the adverse effects of automation on the pilot's system awareness, monitoring workload, and ability to revert to manual control. However adaptive automation, or automation that is implemented dynamically in response to changing task demands on the pilot, has been proposed to be superior to systems with fixed, or static automation. This report examines several issues concerning the theory and design of adaptive automation in aviation systems, particularly as applied to advanced tactical aircraft. An analysis of the relative costs and benefits of conventional (static) aviation automation provides the starting point for the development of a theory of adaptive automation. This analysis includes a review of the empirical studies investigating effects of automation on pilot performance. The main concepts of adaptive automation are then introduced, and four major methods for implementing adaptive automation in the advanced cockpit are described and discussed. Aircraft Automation, Pilot Situational Awareness, Aviation Human Factors, Pilot Workload.

TL;DR: Two underlying models for the task of real-time identification of dynamic events leading to a layer of situational awareness that can become a reality due to increased penetration of phasor measurement units in transmission systems are explored.
Abstract: This paper explores the task of real-time identification of dynamic events leading to a layer of situational awareness that can become a reality due to increased penetration of phasor measurement units in transmission systems. Two underlying models for this task-data driven and physics based-are explored with examples. Challenges, advantages, and drawbacks of each model are discussed based on the availability of data, attributes of such data, and processing options. Potential applications of the task to improve security of power system protection and anomaly detection in the case of a cyberattack are conceptualized. Some known issues in data communications are discussed vis-a-vis the requirements imposed by the proposed task.

TL;DR: The background and context of the problem, the development of a taxonomy of force management decisions in U.S. Air Force tactical command and control, and the processing requirements for those decisions are identified along with the types of processing errors and other critical problems in man-computer interaction are presented.
Abstract: A command and control system is a technological, procedural, and organizational extension of the sensing, processing, and communicating capabilities of the military commanders whose decisions it supports. However, the increase in battlefield information rate brought about by modern weapons, sensors, and tactics requires selective but extensive application of automation to assist commanders and their staffs in reaching timely and appropriate decisions. The background and context of the problem and the development of a taxonomy of force management decisions in U.S. Air Force tactical command and control is presented. The processing requirements for those decisions are identified along with the types of processing errors and other critical problems in man-computer interaction. Finally, Air Force developments in decision aids for tactical command and control are reviewed, and implications and issues for command and control systems research, development, and design are drawn.
