Behavioural Situation Awareness Measures and the Use of Decision Support Tools in Exercise Prowling Pegasus

摘要

Exercise Prowling Pegasus was held during May 19th to the 22nd, 2001, at DSTO Edinburgh. The aim of the exercise was to support ARH doctrine and TTP development, and the development of joint Land Air Systems concepts. A human factors behavioural observation approach was taken in order to assess the behavioural indicators of situation awareness (SA) and the effect of SA enhancing tools on the performance of military participants. Results on the levels of behaviour, the outcomes of wargames, and the relations of the two are discussed. Future work aims to clarify the relationship between behavioural observations and wargame outcomes.
