Abstract :
Situation awareness is recognized as one of the most critical aspects in the aviation domain. Many features of our high technology environment can act to subtly degrade situation awareness, however, including high levels of complexity, out-of-the-loop performance decrements resulting from automation, and lack of synergy in human and machine decision making. An approach that seeks to design for situation awareness enhancement is explored as a viable alternative to traditional automation approaches
