Airborne battle management system & autonomous operations UAV autonomy MMIs

Both the Airborne Battle Management System (ABMS) Program and the Autonomous Operations (AO) Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAV) Autonomy Program are addressing increased crew multi-tasking and interruptions and are investigating technologies that would enable the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) to support human multi-tasking, help negotiate alerts and interruptions, and promote smooth resumption of interrupted tasks. Our R&D interests in these areas is "how to enhance crew coordination by creating systems that can anticipate coordination breakdowns/overloads and take action to prevent and/or remedy these situations". These actions could be something as simple as a console alert saying "You don\´t need to do this; so-and-so (a biological or silicon unit) has already started this task"
