Cooperative Decision-Making Modeling for Manned and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Focusing on “human-in-the-loop” and “human-on-the-loop” mechanisms, cognitive intelligent interaction, and the practical modeling, implementation, and application of limited human intervention in modern aerial systems, this book explores cooperative decision-making technologies between manned and unmanned aerial vehicles.

It systematically discusses two primary approaches to cooperative decision-making mechanisms: limited human intervention and cognitive intelligent interaction. The authors introduce modeling methods for applying limited intervention in typical mission scenarios, such as obstacle avoidance, threat mitigation, and attack decision-making. They also explain how to assess human workload and cognitive load in manned-unmanned operations. Additionally, it outlines interactive cognitive models that support situational awareness, threat evaluation, task allocation, route planning, and decision simulation. These insights address the growing need for effective human-machine collaboration in complex operational environments driven by rapid advancements in information science, control science, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence.

This title will appeal to researchers, engineers, and professionals specializing in command-and-control systems and intelligent decision-making systems. It will also serve as an essential reference for students and educators in information-related disciplines.
