ABSTRACT
Today, military Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) mission management (Clauß & Schulte, 2014; Theißing & Schulte, 2014) and human autonomy teaming in UAV contexts (Cummings, Bruni, Mercier, & Mitchell, 2009; Strenzke & Schulte, 2011) are high-priority foci for research. In modern UAV systems, conventional automation (such as auto-flight systems) relieves the operator of high-bandwidth sensor-motor tasks and improves precision and performance for mission execution. Instead of manual control, the operator controls the aircraft intermittently through automation. Therefore, a Human Supervisor (HS) more or less continually monitors the automation. For this type of control relationship, the term Human Supervisory Control (HSC) has been established (Sheridan, 1992).
