Over the past decade, irregular warfare has dominated the focus for U.S. military forces, requiring interaction with civilian populations for extended periods of time. Effective understanding of the impact of cultural factors and maintaining higher Cultural Situation Awareness has become imperative for success in the emerging environment. Based on knowledge elicitation sessions with hundreds of Soldiers across a variety of military occupation codes, and hands-on research and design experience, this paper examines the application of situation awareness theory to help build, improve, and maintain higher Cultural Situation Awareness from requirements to design.

McNeese, Michael, Cooke, Nancy J., D'Amico, Anita, Endsley, Mica R., Gonzalez, Cleotilde, Roth, Emilie and Salas, Eduardo (2012): Perspectives on the Role of Cognition in Cyber Security. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 2012 Annual Meeting 2012. pp. 268-271.
The cyber security task is an intensely cognitive task that is embedded in a large multi-layered sociotechnical system of analysts, computers, and networks. Effective performance in this world is hampered by enormous size and complexity of the network data, the adaptive nature of intelligent adversaries, the lack of ground truth to assess performance, the high number of false alarms presented by automated alerting systems, by organizational stove pipes thwarting collaboration, and by technology that is thrown at the problem without an adequate understanding of the human needs. Further, the consequences of effective system performance in the cyber security domain are unparalleled because our world is so dependent on its cyber infrastructure. We have assembled a panel of six experts in cognitive engineering to provide perspectives on the cyber security problem and promising solutions.

Lenox, Michelle M., Connors, Erik S. and Endsley, Mica R. (2011): A Baseline Evaluation of Situation Awareness For Electric Power System Operation Supervisors. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 55th Annual Meeting 2011. pp. 2044-2048.
High levels of situation awareness (SA) are critical for successful power transmission and distribution (T&D) operations. Robust and efficient operations within power T&D require that system operators maintain high levels of situation awareness to fully understand the current state of the complex and dynamically changing power grid system, and to successfully project future system states in order to respond in a timely manner. This paper discusses the results of an evaluation study conducted at an electric power control room facility to form a baseline understanding of the impact that current control room conditions have on system operator SA. An objective measure of operator SA was collected during the study through the use of the Situation Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT), which was modified to accommodate the real-time operational demands of the control room. The study also gathered subjective SA measures for the system operator position. The insights gleaned from this analysis can provide guidance when generating recommendations for modifying or redesigning control center displays to support operator situation awareness.

Scielzo, Sandro, Strater, Laura D., Tinsley, Michelle L., Ungvarsky, Diane M. and Endsley, Mica R. (2009): Developing a Subjective Shared Situation Awareness Inventory for Teams. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 53rd Annual Meeting 2009. pp. 289-293.
This paper presents the development of a subjective shared situation awareness (SA) inventory for distributed teams. Items populating the inventory were developed to incorporate participants' perceptions on key elements of SA, including the sufficiency of shared SA requirements, mechanisms, processes and devices. This inventory was administered during a large-scale distributed, computer-based, military simulation exercise. A reliability analysis showed that, overall, the inventory was highly consistent, and that, over time, instrument reliability increased. Median-split analyses on related constructs of mindfulness, implicit coordination, transactive memory, and motivation also revealed that the gap between high and low scorers increased over time in relation to ratings on the four components of shared SA. These findings indicate that participants better calibrated their perceptions of the quality of shared SA over time and that the relationship between these perceptions and these related constructs strengthened over time with experience in the exercise.

Endsley, Mica R. and Rosiles, S. Armida (1995): Vertical Auditory Localization for Spatial Orientation. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 55-59.
The use of three-dimensional auditory technology which provides localization of auditory cues presented through headphones is proposed as a means of providing supplemental information to pilots on the spatial orientation of an aircraft. This technique shows promise for reducing accidents due to spatial disorientation associated with high visual load. A study was conducted using Air Force pilots as subjects to determine desirable cue characteristics for accurately localizing auditory cues using this technique. The study examined the use of nine different cue types at each of two frequency levels. It was found that the accuracy of subjects' localization of cues in elevation was greatly enhanced by the use of multidimensional cues which provided redundant elevation information through varying frequencies and distance from the horizon cues in addition to the inherent spatial location information.

Endsley, Mica R. and Rodgers, Mark D. (1994): Situation Awareness Information Requirements Analysis for En Route Air Traffic Control. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 38th Annual Meeting 1994. pp. 71-75.
Situation awareness is a fundamental requirement for effective air traffic control forming the basis for controller decision making and performance. To develop a better understanding of the role of situation awareness in air traffic control, an analysis was performed to determine the specific situation awareness requirements for air traffic control. This was conducted as a goal-direct task analysis in which the major goals, subgoals, decisions and associated situation awareness requirements for En Route Air Traffic Control (ATC) were delineated based on elicitation from eight experienced Air Traffic Control Specialists. This effort was supported by available task analyses and video-tapes of simulated air traffic control tasks. A determination of the major situation awareness requirements for En Route ATC was developed from this analysis, providing a foundation for future system development which seeks to enhance controller situation awareness and provides a basis for the development of situation awareness measures for air traffic control.

The ability of the pilot to maintain situation awareness (SA) is recognized in the aerospace community as crucial to mission success and survivability. Establishing and maintaining aircrew situation awareness must become a predominant design goal in the development of future aircraft systems. Little work has been done in the scientific community, however, to definitize, explore and measure this important cognitive construct, allowing cockpit design efforts to emphasize that goal. This symposium will focus on establishing a meaningful dialogue and literature base on situation awareness and encouraging future research in requisite directions. The objectives of the symposium are to (1) present current research directed at defining the situation awareness construct, investigating the interactions of SA with other cognitive functions, and developing a methodology for measurement, and (2) present current research efforts in designing for situation awareness which have utilized a scientific approach to establishing and evaluating the design. The symposium will be equally divided between these two goals. The first two papers explore the SA construct and provide a comprehensive discussion in the areas of definition and measurement. The last two papers provide meaningful insight into the issues involved in designing for SA., discussing that process as well as presenting research on the effects of a display design effort and an expert systems implementation effort on situation awareness. All together, this symposium seeks to begin the exploration of an untapped area for human factors research and development.

Endsley, Mica R. (1988): Design and Evaluation for Situation Awareness Enhancement. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 97-101.
Situation awareness (SA) is an important component of pilot/system performance in all types of aircraft. It is the role of the human factors engineer to develop aircraft cockpits which will enhance SA. Research in the area of situation awareness is vitally needed if system designers are to meet the challenge of providing cockpits which enhance SA. This paper presents a discussion of the SA construct, important considerations facing designers of aircraft systems, and current research in the area of SA measurement.

Endsley, Mica R. (1987): The Application of Human Factors to the Development of Expert Systems for Advanced Cockpits. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 1388-1392.
Expert system applications must be carefully selected, designed and integrated into cockpit based on a full understanding of the pilot's tasks, requirements, and capabilities. In this paper, expert systems development issues in the following areas are identified and addressed utilizing processes, methodologies and knowledge from the human factors field: the selection of systems to automate, the elicitation of expert knowledge from pilots, role allocation between the pilot and the system, system design issues, and system evaluation. Considerations of pilot workload, situational awareness, performance and pilot acceptance are considered key to the successful design and implementation of expert systems which will truly enhance the pilot in the performance of his tasks.
