Augmenting Soldier’s Resilience Through Effective Human–Machine Teaming Under Synthetic Training Environment: A Futuristic Ergonomics Approach
摘要
Rapid pace of technological advancement renders it imperative that machines should reach a level of intelligence that enables them to execute tasks with their own decision-making capabilities. Thus, from a master–servant relationship, human–machine interface technology has evolved in following sequence: information system, automation, and autonomous agent. However, need of present-day scenario envisages to see this relationship evolve as teammates. This will improve communication interfaces with better usability and reliability resulting in faster performance with reduced errors and accidents. Biggest challenge will be establishing the “human–machine teaming paradigms” with “human-in-the-loop” concept and at the same time, allowing the human to contribute maximized overall operational performance. These human–machine teammates will be part of a collaborative “synthetic training environment” that will combine actions from live, virtual, constructive, game-based training, and augmented reality technologies. Outcome of the system will be “Resilient Soldiers”, who will be capable of winning wars with mutual contribution.
