Future Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) missions will require multiple operators to collaborate and manage large fleets of highly automated vehicles. It is critical that these operators maintain the necessary situational awareness to modify vehicle missions if/when unexpected situations arise in the operating environment. It has been suggested that highly automated vehicle capabilities can lead to reducing the capabilities given to operators to modify/direct vehicle missions. This paper explores various configurations of Ground Control Station (GCS) capabilities and their impact on sUAS fleet management. Results show that a GCS with a combination of manual and automated capabilities allowed participants to make more effective decisions while maintaining workload and response times similar to that of a GCS with only automated capabilities.
