The research presented in this paper considers the impact of communication between multiple operators controlling multiple unmanned systems. First, communication between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operator and an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) operator was coded, to account for target identification support. Second, communication was coded to account for instances of a UAV operator providing location support to a UGV operator. Regression analyses revealed that performance only improved with high ...
Effective route planning is essential to the successful operation of unmanned vehicles. Video game experience has been shown to affect route planning and execution, but why video game experience helps has not been addressed. One answer may be that spatial skills, necessary for route planning and execution, improve after experience with video games. The current study examines the degree to which spatial ability, specifically spatial visualization, mediates the relationship between ...
