The Advanced Fighter Technology Integration (AFTI)/F-16 test program has been conducting developmental test flights on new technologies designed to enhance the weapons system effectiveness and survivability of fighter aircraft. This paper will focus on the workload aspects of the pilot vehicle interface in regard to the new technologies tested during the automated maneuvering attack system (AMAS) Phase II. Subjects discussed in this paper include: a wide field-of-view head up display; automated maneuvering attack system/sensor tracker system; master modes that configure flight controls and mission avionics; a modified helmet mounted sight; improved multifunction display capability; a voice interactive command system; ride qualities during automated weapon delivery; a color moving map; an advanced digital map display; and a g-induced loss-of-consciousness and spatial disorientation auto-recovery system. The authors will discuss preliminary findings to date and provide insight as to potential payoffs of the emerging technologies.
