Abstract
This study identifies and classifies situational awareness information for copilots in the MEDEVAC mission set of Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) platforms. It also provides a basis for follow-on projects to conduct similar research and analysis into other aircrew members, other FLRAA missions, and other Future Vertical Lift (FVL) platforms including Future Attack Reconnaissance (FARA) and the future unmanned platforms. This report describes a five-phased methodology that is both repeatable and expandable. Follow-on capstone projects can leverage this method to identify the top situational awareness information for the various mission sets and crew positions. Once the critical situational awareness information is identified and classified, the latest technologies can be proposed against those functions to maximize situational awareness. In addition, the situational awareness drivers can then be leveraged toward the identification of cognitive workload drivers when combined with user surveys.
