The new perception-action icons interface significantly improved performance in a tactical simulation for estimating friendly combat resources. This design strategy shows promise for military command and control systems.

Area of Science:

  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Military Science

Background:

  • Existing interface design strategies are optimized for law-driven or intent-driven domains.
  • Intermediate domains, like military command and control, present unique challenges with both constraint types.
  • A hybrid approach, "perception-action icons," was developed integrating direct perception, manipulation, and perception-action loops.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a prototype interface for tactical decision-making.
  • To assess the interface's capability in supporting the critical task of obtaining friendly combat resource status.
  • To test a novel hybrid interface design strategy in a military context.

Main Methods:

  • A qualitative tactical simulation was employed.

  • Participants used both the prototype interface with perception-action icons and an alternative experimental interface.
  • Performance was evaluated based on estimates of friendly combat resources across different information categories and echelon levels.

    • Main Results:

    • The prototype interface incorporating perception-action icons demonstrated significantly superior performance.
    • Results were unequivocal in showing enhanced user capability with the new interface.
    • The study confirmed the effectiveness of the perception-action icon design strategy.

    Conclusions:

    • The perception-action icon design strategy proved highly effective in the experimental setting.
    • This strategy holds potential for application in other intermediate work domains.
    • Findings offer specific interface design strategies for military command and control and broader design principles.
