FUTURE DEFENCE AND SECURITY
Real-Time
Human Performance Assessment
Using technology to explore real-time human performance assessment of attention , biomechanics , emotion , motivation , situation awareness , and workload
Research Laboratory / Facility
Humans remain the custodians of accountability in systems . Assessing their cognitive performance in real-time offers commanders with real-time Human Factors Operating Picture ( H-FOP ) to enable redistribution of responsibilities , continuously assess cognitive enhancement strategies , and provide AI-enabled systems with the necessary information for adaptation .
Prototypes and extensive testing have generated a wealth of tools and know-how which allows the technology to be used across different domains .
The team is continuously on the look-out for interested collaborators from industry and defence .
Key capabilities
> An integrated 12-seat laboratory — using a variety of sensors including EEG , Kinect , Eye Tracker , and Physiological sensors — for cognitive and behavioural human performance measurement
> The technology uses multiple data sources including electroencephalography ( EEG ), facial expressions , language , speech , keyboard , and vibrations > High-fidelity simulation environments including air traffic management
Differentiators
> Software that allows the system to operate with any commercial , off-theshelf system
> A technology that works with different data sources , is robust against loss of a data source , and can integrate human states to adapt AI and automation to the human
> Decades of accumulated experience in real-time cognitive metrics design and calculations
Key customers
> Industry requiring cognitive human assessment and usability of C4ISR technologies
> Defence Science and Technology Group , Air Traffic , UxVs , Swarm , and Space Operators
Key partnerships
> Human-Performance Research Network > Eurocontrol
