Abstract

This paper will discuss technologies for use in a work system comprising a single operator working in a control station being supposed to supervise several UAVs. The overall setup of a typical manned-unmanned teaming scenario will be described and analyzed using the approach of the work system as a human factors engineering framework. This approach facilitates to identify the research areas of cognitive operator assistance and semi-autonomous guidance of co-operating UAVs. Furthermore, this paper will refer to recent research activities and experimental facilities for the evaluation of the solutions.
