Abstract

In future military aviation, Artificial Intelligence will play a key role in combat battlefield tactics by reducing workload and taking over decisions exploiting advantages of speed and precision of computers. However, the question of the so-called trigger authority remains the core issue in this field as ethical tensions arise when a machine decides over the use of lethal force. To enable the operator to make the most morally justifiable decision, the most suitable human-automation workshare has to be determined so that he is supported in just the right way and not overloaded nor exposed to automation bias or loss of situation awareness. For this reason, a special kind of mission simulator is developed, which has to be as close to reality as possible to produce the most transferable results. Eye tracking and other behavioral measurements are used to analyze moral decision-making in complex dynamic, uncertain, and non-binary situations.
