Human-Machine Integration

Intuitive human-machine interfaces, natural control, and AI agents that reduce operator cognitive burden.

Full definition

To optimize warfighter performance and reduce cognitive burden, this area focuses on creating intuitive and effective interactions between operators and increasingly complex systems. Optimized Interfaces: Designing systems, controls, and displays (including virtual and augmented reality) that are intuitive, safe, and efficient. The goal is to enhance situational awareness and reduce human error by presenting critical information through visual, aural, and haptic feedback. Natural & Intuitive Control: Developing interfaces that allow for natural control of systems via voice, gesture, or other intuitive means. This reduces training time, accelerates the decision-to-action cycle, and optimizes command and control of autonomous systems. Artificial Intelligence: Deploying artificial intelligence agents in communications headsets to reduce the cognitive load and increase the capability of the operator.
