The U.S. Army's Rotorcraft Pilot's Associate program has been developing an advanced, intelligent 'associate' system for flight test in a next-generation attack/scout helicopter. We have been involved in a portion of this effort devoted to the construction of an intelligent, adaptive interface known as the Cockpit Information Manager (CIM). This paper describes the high level, task-centric architecture of the CIM and presents its pilot-perceptible behaviors: Crew Intent Estimation, Page Selection, Symbol Selection/Declutter, Intelligent Window Location, Automated Pan and Zoom, and Task Allocation. We also describe an innovation in the RPA program to facilitate crew integration with the associate - a simple crew coordination and task awareness visual display. We then present the subjective results of recent full mission simulation studies using the CIM to illustrate pilots' attitudes toward these behaviors and their perceived effectiveness, suggesting that the relatively high levels of pilot acceptance obtained may have been due, in part, to the addition of the crew coordination display.
