Title:	TARGET ACQUISITION WITH UAVS: VIGILANCE DISPLAYS AND ADVANCED CUEING INTERFACES
Author:	GUNN, DANIEL VICTOR
Description:	Future Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will require operators to switch quickly and efficiently from supervisory to manual control. Utilizing a vigilance task in which threat detections (critical signals) led observers to perform a subsequent manual target acquisition task, the present investigation revealed that the type of vigilance display might have important design implications for future UAV systems. A sensory display format resulted in more threat detections, fewer false alarms, and faster target acquisition times and imposed a lighter workload than a cognitive display format. Thus, the former may be the best display arrangement for future UAV controllers. Additionally, advanced visual, spatial audio, and haptic cueing interfaces enhanced acquisition performance over no cueing in the target acquisition phase of the task, and did so to a similar degree. This finding suggests that advanced cueing interfaces may also prove useful in future UAV systems and that these interfaces are functionally interchangeable.
