Abstract
We examined two metrics for assessing Human-Autonomy-Teaming (HAT) performance, subjective workload and eye-gaze durations, in a simulation of dispatcher flight following while interacting with the HAT features of an Autonomous Constrained Flight Planner. Operator workload was lower in the HAT condition and decreased with time in the scenario. However, participants took more time to uplink flight plan changes in this condition.
