Abstract

Recent developments in technology have permitted an increased use of autonomy. To work best with humans, autonomy should have the qualities of a good team member. But how can these qualities be measured? One way is to use similar measures to those used to measure good teams with human members. For example, the Non-Technical Skills (NOTECHS) framework measures Crew Resource Management (CRM) skills that allow pilots to work together as a team. The framework consists of skill categories, elements of those categories, and behavioral markers that demonstrate good or poor performance in the elements. This paper introduces CMSD (Cooperation/Management/Situation Awareness/Decision Making), a measurement system based on NOTECHS and other widely-used skill level systems, which provides quantitative measures of Human-Autonomy Teaming (HAT).
