Operator vigilance and human factors in defence environments
In operations, failure rarely comes from a sensor. It comes from an operator eight hours in, from a workload rising with no one measuring it, from one more alert in an already saturated feed.
The stake
Surveillance and command centres concentrate a cognitive load that nothing observes continuously today. ASLAN measures that load from the cameras already in place and ties it to environmental events.
Work conducted with IRBA (French Armed Forces Biomedical Research Institute) and INRIA on objective vigilance measurement in constrained environments.
On the ground
Where ASLAN operates, and what it measures
Operational contexts
- Mission-critical operations
- Surveillance & command centres
- Autonomous & semi-autonomous systems
- Maintenance & technical operations
- Training & mission preparation
What we measure
- Vigilance and attention decline on extended shifts
- Perceived workload per operator and per team
- Event density and alert-feed saturation
- Fatigue trajectory across a full shift
What ASLAN enables
- Monitor environmental and human conditions during critical operations.
- Detect operational drift and cognitive degradation before they affect the mission.
- Analyse and simulate the human impact of tasks, workload and operational conditions.
