In this one-hour webinar on March 15, 2022 at 10 a.m. (CET), PRESAGIS and MathWorks subject matter experts will present and review the challenges for human-machine collaboration in the next generation of aircraft systems and how technology keeps evolving to address those challenges. The main one being how to process vast amounts of data from multiple sources, how to process it and display meaningfully to enable better and faster human decision making. Reducing pilot workload is as the center of this evolution to improve reaction time and decision-making process while applying the highest standards of safety and security. Among other changes, we have seen the following relevant ones:

  • The number of multiple people performing unique tasks has been reduced which has ultimately increased pilot workload
  • Data was mainly local to the aircraft, there was limited exposure to Systems of Systems, and communications were slow
  • Even though most information was local, pilots counted with a limited number of sensors
  • There was very limited onboard processing and real-time capabilities
  • Systems had less stringent safety cases, whereas nowadays certification and compliance to the standards are often mandatory.
