Virtual Simulation Experiments in a Six DOF Motion Environment for the Evaluation of C2 on the Move and Human-Robot Interfaces

摘要

The US Army Tank Automotive Research Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC), Army Research Laboratory (ARL), and Corps of Engineers Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) are working towards the development of virtual simulation technologies and their employment towards experimentation associated with command and control on the move and the control of unmanned ground vehicles. The emphasis of the effort involves the intrinsic mobility and vibratory characteristics of the ground platform and the interface between the platform and the human operator. The planned experiments will be executed in an immersive environment specially constructed with audio, visual, and motion sensory stimuli within a Future Combat Systems (FCS) crew station in order to present the greatest degree of presence to the human operator.
