This book focuses on contemporary human factors issues within the
design of soldier systems and describes how they are currently
being investigated and addressed by the U.S. Army to enhance
soldier performance and effectiveness. Designing Soldier Systems
approaches human factors issues from three main perspectives. In
the first section, Chapters 1-5 focus on complexity introduced by
technology, its impact on human performance, and how issues are
being addressed to reduce cognitive workload. In the second
section, Chapters 6-10 concentrate on obstacles imposed by
operational and environmental conditions on the battlefield and how
they are being mitigated through the use of technology. The third
section, Chapters 11-21, is dedicated to system design and
evaluation including the tools, techniques and technologies used by
researchers who design soldier systems to overcome human physical
and cognitive performance limitations as well as the obstacles
imposed by environmental and operations conditions that are
encountered by soldiers. The book will appeal to an international
multidisciplinary audience interested in the design and development
of systems for military use, including defense contractors, program
management offices, human factors engineers, human system
integrators, system engineers, and computer scientists. Relevant
programs of study include those in human factors, cognitive
science, neuroscience, neuroergonomics, psychology, training and
education, and engineering.

This book focuses on the importance of human factors in the
development of reliable and safe unmanned systems. It discusses
current challenges such as how to improve perceptual and cognitive
abilities of robots, develop suitable synthetic vision systems,
cope with degraded reliability of unmanned systems, predict robotic
behavior in case of a loss of communication, the vision for future
soldier-robot teams, human-agent teaming, real-world implications
for human-robot interaction, and approaches to standardize both
display and control of technologies across unmanned systems. Based
on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Human Factors in
Robots and Unmanned Systems, held on July 27-31, 2016, in Walt
Disney World (R), Florida, USA, this book is expected to foster new
discussion and stimulate new ideas towards the development of more
reliable, safer, and functional devices for carrying out automated
and concurrent tasks.
