“…Of course, sound sequences can use sounds other than spearcons, but preliminary work with two kinds of earcons for individual patient monitoring (Leong, 2016;Lim, 2016) did not offer the same levels of accuracy as spearcons. The results potentially generalize to other domains: for example, sound sequences could support the monitoring of multiple subsystems in discrete or continuous industrial process control (Peters et al, 2015) or the control of multiple remotely piloted vehicles (Calhoun & Draper, 2015;Zhang, Lei, Niu, & Zhang, 2015).…”

The aim was to compare the effectiveness of two auditory displays, implemented with spearcons (time-compressed speech), for monitoring multiple patients. Background: Sequences of sounds can convey information about patients' vital signs, such as oxygen saturation (SpO 2) and heart rate (HR). We tested whether participants could monitor five patients using spearcon-based sound sequences. Method: A 2 × 3 within-subjects design was used. The first factor was interface, with two levels: the ALL interface used spearcons to convey vital signs for all five patients, whereas the ABN (abnormal) interface represented patients who had normal vital signs with a low-pitched single-tone sound and patients who had at least one abnormal vital sign with spearcons. The second factor was the number of patients who had at least one abnormal vital sign: there were one, two, or three such patients in each monitoring sequence. Participants were 40 nonclinicians. Results: Participants identified abnormal patients' SpO 2 and HR levels and located abnormal patients in the sound sequence more accurately with the ABN interface than the ALL interface. Accuracy declined as the number of abnormal patients increased. Participants associated ABN with easier identification of vital signs, resulting in higher ratings of confidence and pleasantness compared with ALL. Conclusion: Sequences of spearcons may support effective eyes-free monitoring of multiple patients. Application: Sequences of spearcons may be useful in monitoring multiple patients and the underlying design principles may extend to monitoring in other domains such as industrial process control or control of multiple autonomous vehicles.

“…Few studies have systematically evaluated how the choice of interface input method affects operator performance with UAV control systems (see Calhoun, Ruff, Behymer, & Rothwell, 2017;Draper, Calhoun, Ruff, Williamson, & Barry, 2003;Taylor et al, 2015). None have evaluated systems designed for an AMC located in a Black Hawk helicopter, which is important because it is critical to consider the specific application when designing interfaces for multi-UAV control (Calhoun & Draper, 2015). The purpose of this study was to evaluate three interface input methods (touch, voice, multimodal) for a MUM-T supervisory control system designed for an AMC located in a Black Hawk helicopter.…”

“…Prime examples are the Tomahawk Land Attack Missile (TLAM) and its variants, navy’s precision strike standoff weapons for attack of long range, medium range and tactical targets [57]. Furthermore, the military has invested in the use of long endurance UAVs to engage high-value targets and introduce multi-UAVs applications [58]. …”

The Internet of Things (IoT) is undeniably transforming the way that organizations communicate and organize everyday businesses and industrial procedures. Its adoption has proven well suited for sectors that manage a large number of assets and coordinate complex and distributed processes. This survey analyzes the great potential for applying IoT technologies (i.e., data-driven applications or embedded automation and intelligent adaptive systems) to revolutionize modern warfare and provide benefits similar to those in industry. It identifies scenarios where Defense and Public Safety (PS) could leverage better commercial IoT capabilities to deliver greater survivability to the warfighter or first responders, while reducing costs and increasing operation efficiency and effectiveness. This article reviews the main tactical requirements and the architecture, examining gaps and shortcomings in existing IoT systems across the military field and mission-critical scenarios. The review characterizes the open challenges for a broad deployment and presents a research roadmap for enabling an affordable IoT for defense and PS.
