Aguero, Cécilia, Mooij, Martijn and Varkevisser, Michel (2011): Human in the loop concept design and evaluation of a multi-targeting system. In: Proceedings of the 2011 Annual European Conference on Cognitive Ergonomics 2011. pp. 75-82.

“Motivation -- The research goal was to support the design, development and evaluation of a new multitargeting weapon system while considering (future) endusers' requirements and limitations at early stages of the concept design. Research approach -- An original Human Factors approach was adopted and based on three steps in which future end-users were highly involved. 1) Scenario walkthroughs allowed end-users to envision the system in use, prior to development, 2) the design of the system concept and associated Human Machine Interface (HMI) materialised in a first multi-targeting simulator version and 3) the simulations were used to evaluate the concept. Findings -- The user-lead development approach proved to be useful to define a first version of the multi-targeting concept and to ensure that user requirements are represented in the system definition. Especially, the simulation provided valuable information on how well a multi-targeting system could be used by military operators. Despite costs associated with the multi-targeting task, (e.g. increased mental load), operators were able to manage up to four incoming targets. Research limitations -- Although this research provided a first version of the operational concept, further design studies are necessary to see what adjustments (e.g., level of automation, adaptive HMI) could support the operational task even better. Originality -- The approach tackled the system design problem in its entirety, not only focusing on the HMI elements but on the operational concept of a novel system which included system, control and information requirements from a user perspective. Take away message -- The user-lead development in this specific military field was a valuable method for generating design requirements for a non-existing system at early stages of the concept design.”
