Abstract

The role of S/W in weapon systems has been developed with various functions and complex structures. As the weapon system S/W is directly related to quick and accurate decision making of users, more accurate evaluation is required during the training. However, situation awareness of weapon system S/W users has only been assessed qualitatively such as by simple test or qualitative judgement. Therefore, this study suggests the 'Cognition Ratio' concept which represents the quantitative of users by combining ACT-R cognitive architecture to SA (Situation Awareness) and Fitts' Law based on the theory of cognitive engineering. The cognition ratio is a ratio of cognition among the whole cognitive behavior process including perception and psychomotor. Moreover, this study provides a systematic assessment process of situation awareness that will be applicable to various weapon system S/W for effective assessment.

무기체계는 과학기술의 발전에 따라 S/W 중심으로 변화되고 있으며 다양화 복잡화되고 있다. 무기체계 S/W 사용자의 상황인식 수준은 신속 정확한 판단에 영향을 미치기 때문에 훈련 시 정확한 평가가 필요하다. 그러나 기존 무기체계 S/W 사용자의 상황인식 수준은 단순 상황해결 유무 또는 평가자의 정성적인 판단으로 평가되고 있다. 본 연구는 무기체계 S/W 사용자의 상황 인식 수준을 체계적이고 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 평가 프로세스를 제안하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 ACT-R(Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational) 인지아키텍쳐에 인지공학 이론인 SA (Situation Awareness)와 Fitts' Law를 접목하여 사용자의 상황 인식 수준을 정량적으로 나타내는 Cognition Ratio 개념을 제안하였다. Cognition Ratio는 지각(Perception)과 행동(Psychomotor)을 포함한 인지 행동 과정 중 인지(Cognition)의 비율로 구성되었다. 또한, 본 연구는 Cognition Ratio를 활용하여 사용자 상황인식 수준을 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 평가 프로세스를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 평가 프로세스는 다양한 무기체계 S/W 사용자의 상황인식 수준을 효과적으로 평가하는 데 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
