The stressful mission environment for tactical aircraft in the 1990's will require improved integration of pilot and machine to assure successful operations. Research has focused on the development of quantitative pilot performance and workload measures. Improved methods for defining pilot functions, tasks, and performance variables were developed along with test design and data analysis techniques to support cockpit evaluations. Significant advances in the measurement of workload were made using subjective and neurophysiological techniques. Research on measures of pilot situation awareness and decision making, critical toward understanding the pilot interface with automated systems, is underway. The approach has been to establish a solid base of lab research followed by the test and evaluation of measurement techniques in complex flight simulators and then actual flight experiments.
