This study proposes a methodology and legibility criteria for use in the design and selection of group display systems for new and existing command and control facilities. The methodology and criteria are based upon objective human performance data derived from studies in which key display parameters were related to observers' ability to identify displayed data.

Unmanned systems will play an increased role in the future beyond military application including but not limited to: search and rescue, border patrol, homeland security, and natural disaster relief operations. Current models of unmanned system operations, such as those used for unmanned aerial vehicles, require multiple operators to control a single vehicle. This multioperator-single vehicle ratio will soon shift to a multioperator-multivehicle model as the number of unmanned systems increase and work in unison to complete a mission. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of a physiological measure i.e. heart rate variability (HRV), to assess operator workload in a single operator-multivehicle command and control simulation. An internally developed command and control simulator is described and observed effects of mental workload on HRV are reported. Results suggest that HRV can be used to assess operator workload during a command and control simulation of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles.

As the United States Navy moves towards a reduction in manning aboard future ships, the number and complexity of tasks the warfighter must perform remains high. One responsibility of the warfighter that is very taxing on his/her audio channel is the handling of voice communications. To determine the “breaking point” in handling these voice communications, researchers used a fully developed scenario to test the capabilities and limitations of typical Navy watchstanders when subjected to a varying number of active communications circuits. Metrics such as accuracy and latency of response were used to measure human performance. In addition, a between-subject experiment was used to determine whether or not a simulated speech-to-text tool would help to improve warfighter performance on a communications task, while not degrading performance on a primary, tactical task. The experiment was performed in the Integrated Command Environment (ICE) lab at NAVSEA Dahlgren, a testbed for future command and control concepts and a vehicle to solicit valuable feedback from members of the fleet.
