Abstract

Maintaining situational awareness in time-critical operation control is an omni-dimensional optimisation problem. For excellent situational awareness, complete information with sufficient time to process it is prerequisite. Making sound judgement with limited time the flight controllers suffer poor information ergonomics as demanding situations cause cognitive load as well as incoming information is constipated. In this normative paper, design principles and main functionalities are presented for an artificial intelligence powered and extended reality decision support information system.
