Unmanned systems (UxS) have become almost ubiquitous in U.S. military operations today, but many still wonder how they will be effectively integrated into the existing force, to succeed as a force multiplier rather than just a force enabler. As we look towards the future of UxS, we anticipate that greater autonomy will be mandated due to manning considerations, the challenge of data overload, and the need for resiliency in anti-access and area denial environments. However, as levels of autonomy are increased, it will be imperative to integrate and optimize the human element in the development and design phases, in order to maximize the capabilities of both the unmanned system and the human operator. The human element has long been a consideration in all aspects of aviation. As the DoD moves toward increased autonomy for UxS, it is faced with identifying the proper levels of human interaction with unmanned platforms. The appropriate level of human interaction has been widely discussed when considering whether or not platforms should be armed, and whether or not decisions regarding engagement should be made by an autonomous system. While this is one aspect of the human interaction, the other, less mentioned, aspect is identifying the level of involvement that is necessary from a human factors and crew resource management standpoint. Increasing the autonomy of unmanned systems can only be done successfully if it is done in such a way that the human element remains at the center of the design. This paper will explore the demand for increased autonomy with a movement toward manned-unmanned teaming and swarming capabilities. We will discuss the importance of the consideration of human factors and user-centered design as we work to identify the right balance of autonomy and human engagement with the system. We will also highlight examples of ground-breaking efforts currently being conducted within U.S. defense laboratories that are paving the way for achieving the goal of
