Today, the capability to design fighters for enhanced situation awareness is very limited. The impacts of situation awareness on fighter performance is just now being understood and articulated, despite the fact that Situation Awareness has historically been regarded by fighter pilots as a dominant factor in air combat. The Situation Awareness Metrics Program as is discussed is this paper offers a balanced blend of operational and technical analysis, and, consequently provides definitions of Situation Awareness at an engineering and design level of detail. The medium that may be used to measure Situation Awareness is information flow, timing, and management. The sensors, architecture, controls and displays, and the pilots all interact with information structures that support 'winning' performance. The Situation Awareness Metrics Program defines these information structures and interactions from a composite weapons system perspective; that is pilot and aircraft. Phase 1 defines required information structures that support 'winning' performance. Phase 2 begins initial development of measures or merit that are sensitive to information availability versus combat performance. Phase 3 evaluates the performance of candidate avionics suites, specifically the processes and functions that impact information flow. Phase 4 is a final evaluation of the pilot's ability to manage information once it is projected into the cockpit. Software and hardware tools are being developed that support the methodologies used in each program phase.
