The use of remotely piloted vehicles is increasing dramatically for applications involving reconnaissance, supression of enemy air defenses, and hazardous search and rescue missions. As the mission profiles of these vehicles becomes more sophisticated and demanding, the need for supervisory interfaces between human and machine increases. Drs. Narayanan and Gallimore are currently researching more effective ways to enhance human-system interaction involving remotely piloted vehicles. Their approach is to develop multi-modal interfaces that can exploit graphical, auditory, and visual channels.
