From page 13...
... John-Paul Clarke (steering committee member) opened with the comment that "It's the transition that always gets you in getting from here to there." He then described the current situation, which involves airliners and a large ground-control network with one person working one airliner, which may also include a single large UAS controlled by several people, as well as a small UAS with a single ground person, and eventually perhaps a single person controlling multiple UASs.
From page 14...
... She repeated that, in her view, a future move to one operator for multiple UASs is not slight. On the loss of natural multimodal cues, Sarter indicated that one can lose peripheral visual cues to an extent: that is, flow fields may be gone, and depth cues may be gone to an extent, as might the orienting function of peripheral vision.
From page 15...
... She pointed out that control of latency has been discussed in many papers, especially under problematic and highly dynamic conditions, and that people are developing new forms of feedback for some of these problems, such as gravitationforce feedback, which can pull one toward a desired flight path or push one away from a potential collision. But Sarter cautioned that answers are needed about what happens when gravitational force feedback is part of a system that may make an error.
From page 16...
... She urged maintaining a systems perspective, by which she meant cognitive systems, noting that she had not spoken much about technology.
