Trustworthy UAV Relationships: Applying the Schema Action World Taxonomy to UAVs and UAV Swarm Operations

International Journal of Human-Computer Interaction, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 39(20), P. 4042 - 4058

Human Factors play a significant role in the development and integration of avionic systems to ensure that they are trusted can be used effectively. As Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology becomes increasingly important aviation domain this holds true. This study aims gain an understanding UAV operators' trust requirements when piloting UAVs by utilising popular interview methodology (Schema World Action Research Method), combination with key questions on identified from literature. Interviews were conducted six operators, range experience. importance past experience expectations operators hold. Recommendations made target training inform experience, addition equipment, procedures organisational standards aid developing trustworthy systems. The was developed shows promise for capturing within human-automation interactions.

‘Manning’ the ‘unmanned’: Reapproaching the military drone through learning the/to drone

A global turn to the drone is underway. While automation creep and rise of autonomy necessitate critical attention non-human, labour or 'manning' nonetheless remains a constitutive part of, limitation upon, assemblage. Situated in context personnel shortage, this article pursues an embodied geopolitics labour. Thinking with literature urging 'witnessing' strikes understanding infrastructures undergirding them, it offers three contributions. First, while cognisant access challenges accompanying research into military practice objects, introduces two under-examined fieldsites through which reapproaches drone. The conference industry training course, argues, offer windows empiric act widen methodological toolkit deployed drone's accounting. Second, reapproaching as such enables contextual conceptual reflections on experiences operators, those explored at alternative sites temporalities revealing distinct forms operational strain. Third, developing labour, also accounts for labours undertaking research, unpacking different strained encounter each fieldsite. conclusion engages feminist lens explore connections across between article's multiple scales, actors, (of strain). Collectively, contributes insight around adaptation, empirically-driven account inclusive both operators researchers, conceptualising strain therein.

Historical can be invaluable information sources for baseline establishment, to undertake long-term study on dynamics enhance the historical land cover land-use of a country. In this study, we explore these untapped reservoirs, used complementarily with remote sensing techniques, explain systems Peninsular Malaysia. The archives United Kingdom, Netherlands, Malaysia Singapore were explored mined related from centuries. Most found validate presence since 1853 while two 1944 1954 quantify extent. A significant finding was oldest record that attested system mainland Penang which not identified again post-1853.
