Study on Cognitive Decision Aiding System with Variable Autonomy Level

Intelligent cognitive decision aiding systems have significant effects on improving the effectiveness and safety of the combat plane and decreasing the pilot workload.The distinct behaviors and characteristics in cognitive decision process were investigated.The principles and methods of variable autonomy authority and function allocation were developed from the perspective of cognitive automation and cognitive coordination and cooperation,and the different level of automation was given.The pilot and cognitive decision aiding system were integrated into coordination and cooperation control system with adjustable level of autonomy based on the variable authority management strategies and intelligent information management system,and the integrated system structure was given.The results increase the abilities of coordination and cooperation between pilot and decision aiding system,and improve the performances of modern combat plane.
