- Description
- The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals for developing technology solutions addressing critical deficiencies in selecting, training and equipping the Air Vehicle Operator (AVO) position, primarily in Group 3, 4 and Group 5 Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) - for example, Shadow, BAMS, Firescout and UCLASS. Beginning in FY12, the Navy and Marine Corps will significantly increase their rate of acquisition of a wide range of Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) platforms. These UASs will include significant technological advances, blending automation with dynamic, decentralized control, and will support a wide range of missions, many of a different nature than traditional manned aircraft missions. Yet, despite these technological advances, these UAS capabilities do not lend themselves to easy use by their operators. From a human systems integration perspective, these systems are not well-supported by control station interfaces, training technologies or selection tools-as indicated by the fact that, despite advances in UAS capabilities, as much as 50 percent of all UAS mishaps are attributed to human factors (Williams, 2004; Tvaryanas, 2005, 2006).
