Removing the HCI Bottleneck: How the Human-Computer Interface (HCI) Affects the Performance of Data Fusion Systems*

During the past two decades, an enormous amount of effort has focused on the development of automated multisensor data systems.

These systems seek to combine data from multiple sensors to improve the ability to detect, locate, characterize, and identify targets. Since the early 1970s, numerous data fusion systems have been developed for a wide variety of applications, such as automatic target recognition, identification-friend-foe-neutral (IFFN), situation assessment, and threat assessment.
