Operator Workload for Military System Acquisition

摘要: The purpose of this paper is threefold. Initially, we take the liberty introducing subject workload: what it means and why as engineers behavioral scientists are interested in it. We assume that practically all involved design new weapon systems are, by now, at least aware importance operator workload (OWL). Indeed, widely endorsed, yet poorly addressed, initiative to reduce partly responsible for seemingly mad rush provide ever greater levels automation cockpit, helm, or workstation. Those us who practice Human Factors Engineering profession realize folly providing simply because technologically feasible .. but philosophical argument must remain another day. In any event, a brief discussion necessary set stage. second identify specific prediction assessment models which have reviewed our research program, present summary opinions utility these techniques. Lastly, will suggest some top level. questions, strategies, issues confront when time comes actually select apply technique.
