Our research seeks to improve the efficiency and safety of aircraft operations in the National Airspace System (NAS) by addressing operational and safety challenges. This research enables more efficient and safe operations as well as lays the groundwork for the introduction of revolutionary vehicles, such as autonomous, supersonic, and personal air vehicles.
Our research includes developing and evaluating concepts and technologies in support of solving vehicle operational challenges related to…
- Flight Path Management
- Human-Machine Interfaces, Teaming, and Function Allocation
- Methods and Metrics for Evaluating Complex Human-Machine Systems and Operations
- Operational Machine Autonomy Solutions as applied to Air Vehicles and Airspace Operations
- Psychophysiological Measurements relating to Crew Performance
