Abstract:

This paper is a review of human factors research that is related to the task of the visual observer in unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations. Primarily, visual observers are used to assist in the prevention of a mid-air collision during the course of a UAS operation. Therefore, much of the research reviewed is related to ground-based visual observation of aircraft. The research covers basic human visual system capacity and limitations, visual performance models, and empirical studies of visual observation. The empirical studies include visual observer studies, aircraft see-and-avoid research, and search and rescue operations research.
