Symbology to represent fixed-wing and rotary-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) was developed and compared to MIL-STD-1787C symbology. The symbology was evaluated in several simulated UAV operator tasks. In the first portion of the study, static screen-shots from a simulated UAV control station display screen were presented to participants. Participants were required to determine how many air vehicle symbols of a particular type or affiliation were present in the screen-shot. The results indicated that the new symbology was recognized at least as quickly and accurately as existing MIL-STD-1787C symbology. In the second portion of the study, participants monitored dynamic video on the control station display. Participants were required to monitor the display for specific events associated with their own ships. Again, performance with the new symbology was at least as good as that with MIL-STD-1787C symbology. While this study was limited in scope, the results represent a productive step in the development, evaluation, and standardization of new UAV symbology.
