HSI Implications of a New Naval Combat System Alerting Technology Based on Negotiation-Based Coordination: The HAIL Technology

摘要

The Human Alerting and Interruption Logistics (HAIL) technology is introduced into the Aegis surface warfare platform to increase warfighter capability to deal with high alerting rates. A spiral development and evaluation process investigated the implications of this new technology on operator performance. The Aegis-HAIL application, as compared to the B/L-7/1 alert processing, increased human capacity for processing critical alerts in four ways: (1) reroute noncritical alerts to other display areas, (2) provide negotiation-based control to enable operator-centric navigation of information, (3) providing only critical alerts improved alert SA, and (4) eased transition and recovery back to the original task.
