Introduction to Measuring Situational Awareness in Mission-Based Testing Scenarios
Situation Awareness (SA) plays a key role in decision making and human performance, higher operator SA is associated with increased operator performance and decreased operator errors. While maintaining or improving “situational awareness” is a common requirement for systems under test, there is no single standardized method or metric for quantifying SA in operational testing (OT). This leads to varied and sometimes suboptimal treatments of SA measurement across programs and test events....
