Sead And The Ucav: A Preliminary Cognitive Systems Analysis, John M. Flach, Robert Eggleston, Gilbert G. Kuperman, Cynthia O. Dominguez

Psychology Faculty Publications

This report is the first step of a program with three explicit goals: (1) to illustrate and test the framework of Cognitive Systems Engineering (CSE) for use in military systems analysis and design; (2) to generate a database that will be useful for designers and managers working on the development of UCAVs for use in the SEAD mission; and (3) to develop interfaces for UCAVs. These goals are tightly coupled in that the usefulness of the database and the ability to develop effective interfaces and user-aiding concepts will be the true test of the CSE framework. The report is most …


Victory By Design: War, Information, And Cognitive Systems Engineering, John M. Flach, Gilbert G. Kuperman Feb 1998

Victory By Design: War, Information, And Cognitive Systems Engineering, John M. Flach, Gilbert G. Kuperman

Psychology Faculty Publications

This report discusses the new field of cognitive systems engineering (CSE) and explores the applicability of the CSE paradigm to the domain of information warfare (IW). CSE's goal is the application and design integration of information technology (including both human and automated information processing systems) to facilitate work. CSE defines work as effort to move through a problem space to achieve specific objectives. Information warfare represents a work domain where the effective management of information must incorporate the effective utilization of rapid advances in technology (e.g., sensors, communications, and display devices). The report examines IW and Basic Air Force Doctrine …
