This panel has been designed to discuss future directions in unmanned system (UMS) andhuman-robot interaction (HRI) research. It will focus on broad issues related tocontrolling multiple UMSs in the military domain from the perspective of differentinternational studies. The members of this panel have been chosen specifically for theirbackground and insight into these areas and it is hoped that their discussion will provideboth direction and guidance necessary to overcome the challenges of UMS integrationinto military environments. We will discuss the following future systems (a) Israeliresearch on the effects of UMS visualizations from multiple systems for intelligencegatheringoperations by dismounted soldiers (b) Canadian research conducted on synergybetween intelligent agents and war fighters, (c) problems with autonomy and possiblehuman factors solutions using common interface solutions being developed by US Navyresearchers for surface ship and ground applications, (d) the use of co-operative cognitiveagent technology developed by the German Bundeswhre University as a middle groundbetween manual and autonomous control and (e) US Army research on progressiveautonomy.
