The following link from S. McCarley & C.D. Wickens(1), et al,highlights the main issues identified in this area. To summarise they are:
1. Displays and Controls.
2. Automation and System Failures.
3. Crew Composition, Selection and Training.
To add an interesting addition to the automation category however, at what level of automation should a human decision be compulsory. Is it okay for an UAV to decide to destroy a high profile military target at cost to civilian life/infrastructure?
