Expected Impact:
The outcome should contribute to:
- European platforms for enhanced combat pilot technologies tests and demonstrations to welcome joint or national tests and demonstration needs.
- Consolidation of a sector of excellence in the EU for enhanced combat pilot based on innovative technologies.
- Generation of inputs for the mid-term and long-term development of next generation air combat cockpit HMI.
- The development of novel cockpit HMI technologies.
- Increase mission capability, efficiency, effectiveness, and performance in air combat missions (e.g., safer for pilot and helping to limit the collateral damage) exploiting the emerging technologies.
- Provision of a potential starting point for developing EU guidelines in the frame of advanced HMI design for managing systems-of-systems operations.
- Provision of an opportunity for cross-ministries of defence and cross-industries exchanges in the subject of cockpit design and pilot operating procedures.
- Strengthen EU industry in advanced air combat cockpit technologies independent of third countries.
- Quick wins identification to be implemented on current or upcoming systems.
Future warfare is likely to be largely characterised by the networking of combat systems, including unmanned autonomous assets, and a high degree of automation of many systems. As a result, a large number of actors, sensors and effectors may be connected, generating an astonishing collection of information and data.
The challenge is therefore
