Abstract :
The issues of cockpit automation, types of automation, and task allocation (including dynamic allocation) are discussed in regard to the near future of the single-seat tactical aircraft. The application of these considerations to the development of a prototype `electronic crewmember´ is described. Examples of the formal steps taken in the task-analysis process that directed subsequent hardware and software engineering are included. Some of the more significant tradeoffs required by the incorporation of dynamic allocation into the capabilities of the electronic crewmember are addressed
