Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories (LM ATL):
ETL’s Human Systems & Autonomy (HSA) Vision
To improve warfighter and warfighter system performance in real time
through human systems integration: coordinating human-machine action to
leverage strengths & ameliorate weaknesses of each – composable teaming.
• Sense: Measure biomarkers
and other vitals correlated with
cognitive and physical state
• Assess: Evaluate sensor data
in context of warfighter
performance and mission
• Augment: Implement
regulatory and adaptive control
strategies as needed.
Not only human factors
engineering—dynamic and
inclusive…human focused, but for
systemic effects and with autonomy
in mind: “Cognitively Aided Design
and Evaluation” (CADE)

AND TRAINING”
(SSWAT)
OBJECTIVES
• Determine which
chemical biomarker
adds the most
predictive value to a
complementary set of
physiologic signals
• Develop Workload
Assessment Model to
interpret data in real
time
• Build and integrate
SSWAT software and
sensors into AFRL’s
human measurement

Quick Lessons Learned • Preprocessing important
• For ML, Kernal choice matters
• Important to account for time scales
• Important to account for individual and task
variability
• Physiological analysis must be brought up to 21st
century standards—managing expectations
important (Fitts’s Law or Yerkes-Dodson Law
unlikely)
• Sensor design should robustly incorporate use
case
• Sensor design intertwined with theory…OT story
• Microneedles…

General Capabilities:
1) Full Neurophysiology lab—multiple EEGs (easy to use COTS systems/lab-grade research systems), bio/behavior-
sensors (HR/HRV, GSR, etc.), eye-trackers (SmartEye/Tobii), stand off assessment tools (Kinect II/gesture interpretation
software), thermography (medical grade & portable), Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation system, functional Near-
Infrared brain sensing system, etc.
2) Autonomy research area—planning and control, Manned-Unmanned teaming concepts, control systems design and
testing, reasoning under uncertainty, human behavior modeling, analytics for human-machine teaming.
3) Human-Robot Interaction area—Baxter robot, 2 x Darwin Robotis robots, associated software.
4) Human Systems analysis expertise—cognitive interview/cognitive task analysis, human factors, “Cognitively-Aided
quick-turn Design and Evaluation” (CADE) process, human use work, multi-discipline human systems engineering, applied
cognitive science…experienced managers/PhD’d former military.
5) Simulation environments—including virtual reality displays and software (Oculus Rift Rev II, Stanford partnership), LM
Prepar3d flight simulation software, ISR-PED cell simulation under construction, AGI STK software for space environment
simulation, etc.
6) Access to other LM resources—Previous work in social media environments, trust and transparency, judgment and
decision-making, physiology of performance, neurobiology, cognitive modeling…cross-lab access to software
engineers/architects, informaticists, spectrum signals expertise, etc.
