Building Honeywell's Adaptive System for the Augmented Cognition Program

The Honeywell AugCog team has developed a closed loop integrated prototype to address the performance advantages of a neurophysiologically driven system. The team has run a series of evaluations to validate the effectiveness of using cognitive state assessment to trigger performance mitigation strategies in an effort to improve overall system performance. This paper reviews the process for creating the closed loop integrated prototype, defining the military-relevant tasks used to test the system, and assessing the system in four separate evaluations. In parallel with the evaluations, the system was evaluated for feasibility on a mobile, dismounted soldier. The demonstration of this feasibility test is discussed.
