The University of Iowa received a $510,268 Project Grant award from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to support research titled "Intelligent Tactical Autopilot to Advance Basic Understanding of Human Reliance and Teaming in Mixed Human-Machine Teams." The grant period runs from July 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022.
The funding supports research under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800), which aims to maintain Air Force technological superiority through scientific research relevant to its needs. Specifically, this award will allow researchers at the University of Iowa to advance understanding of how humans and intelligent machines can effectively team together through development of an intelligent autopilot system and examination of human reliance on autonomous technologies. Insights from this research could help enhance performance of mixed human-machine teams critical to many Air Force operations.
