“…When designing a model, it is important to understand both the phenomena that should be modelled as well as in which context the model should be used. The first step in the design of the combat survival model has been to analyse the problem, which has included reviewing relevant literature and interviewing two fighter pilots with focus on threat evaluation and team collaboration (see further Helldin et al 10 ).…”

“…However, the worst case scenario will be unlikely to happen if f X (0) is small. The probability for the best case scenario, that is, when the survivability is 1, is given by (10). This expression does not depend on l(r), and is therefore the same for both models.…”

“…Fighter pilots in the interview study reported by Helldin et al 10 argued that it would be difficult to develop a system that decides which threats that the pilot should handle, that is, a system according to the first approach described above. They pointed out that the aircraft cannot know where the pilot intends to fly and therefore cannot evaluate whether or not a threat hinders the continuation of the mission.…”

A survivability model can be a useful component of a tactical support system able to aid fighter pilots to assess the risk of getting hit by enemy fire from ground-based threats. This work identifies three desirable properties of such a model: it should allow for evaluating actions; it should enable domain experts to incorporate their knowledge; and it should represent uncertainties both regarding the locations of the threats as well as their future actions. A survivability model is suggested, which calculates the probability that the aircraft can fly a route unharmed and allows for routes of different lengths to be compared. A domain expert can describe the threats by specifying the risk of getting hit at a position of the route without having to consider the earlier actions of the aircraft and the threats. Three different threat models are suggested and compared. The influence of uncertainties regarding the positions of the threats is studied by calculating the probability density function for the survivability. Different representations that take into account both the uncertainty regarding the present and future situation are discussed. The results indicate that the suggested survivability model could be a useful component of a future tactical support system, even though some further development is needed.

“…Fighter pilots perform demanding and challenging missions in technologically advanced aircraft that require a range of special skills as well as years of training and practice. Moreover, the majority of fighter missions are performed by teams of aircraft, hence, teamwork is essential for the successful outcome of missions, and the importance of teamwork in the domain is acknowledged (Castor 2009;Helldin et al 2010;Hierl, Neujahr, and Sandl 2012;Gozum 1995). However, a lack of understanding how teamwork among fighter pilots is carried out has been identified (Erlandsson et al 2010).…”

The execution of teamwork varies widely depending on the domain and task in question. Despite the considerable diversity of teams and their operation, researchers tend to aim for unified theories and models regardless of field. However, we argue that there is a need for translation and adaptation of the theoretical models to each specific domain. To this end, a case study was carried out on fighter pilots and it was investigated how teamwork is performed in this specialised and challenging environment, with a specific focus on the dependence on technology for these teams. The collaboration between the fighter pilots is described and analysed using a generic theoretical model for effective teamwork from the literature. The results show that domain-specific application and modification is needed in order for the model to capture fighter pilot's teamwork. The study provides deeper understanding of the working conditions for teams of pilots and gives design implications for how tactical support systems can enhance teamwork in the domain.Practitioner summary: This article presents a qualitative interview study with fighter pilots based on a generic theoretical teamwork model applied to the fighter domain. The purpose is to understand the conditions under which teams of fighter pilots work and to provide guidance for the design of future technological aids.
