How do we design systems that help operators make informed, defensible decisions under pressure?
Knowmadics Chief Product & Technology Officer Dr. Michael P. Jenkins examines that question in a new commentary published by RealClearDefense.
Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in human-machine teaming and the design of decision support systems for national security, Dr. Jenkins uses counter-UAS to look at the operator’s role in increasingly complex systems.
His commentary considers what happens when operators must make sense of radar, RF, EO/IR and other sources while working under time pressure and within legal and privacy boundaries. The choices engineers make about how that information is presented can directly affect an operator’s ability to understand what they’re seeing and decide how to act.
Dr. Jenkins makes the case for treating operator judgment as an engineering requirement from the start.
