Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) promise to change the way we think about aircraft and airspace and they are being used in many different environments; everything from entertainment to search and rescue operations. One thing common amongst the different UAV platforms is that all use very difficult user interfaces. These interfaces have been designed by engineers and roboticists who do not have training in incorporating the needs of end users. This research involves developing an innovative interface for UAVs that improves situation awareness for the user and demonstrating its effectiveness.
