Designing work roles for crew operating multiple unmanned aircraft

该项目的目的是确定工作角色应该如何设计的机组人员操作多个无人驾驶飞机（UA）。业界预计，在下一代无人机系统中引入更高水平的自动化将通过使机组人员能够同时管理多架飞机来降低与无人机相关的运营成本。目前的项目审查这些系统的不同类型的工作设计的安全性和有效性。主要成果将是一套关于下一代普遍获得系统机组人员工作角色设计的建议。预期的好处包括提高下一代普遍获得系统的安全性和成本效益。

The aim of this project is to identify how work roles should be designed for crew operating multiple Unmanned Aircraft (UA). Industry expects that the introduction of higher levels of automation in next-generation UA systems will reduce the operational costs associated with UA by enabling human crews to simultaneously manage multiple aircraft. The current project examines the safety and effectiveness of different types of work designs for these systems. The primary outcome will be a set of recommendations regarding the design of work roles for the crew of next-generation UA systems. Expected benefits include improvements in safety and cost-effectiveness of next-generation UA systems.
