| description | Collaborative flight formations represent a promising operational model, but the integration of multi-source information in manned interfaces often results in cognitive overload and reduced situation awareness. This study evaluates the effectiveness of intelligent auxiliary information presentation modes in enhancing personnel capabilities. Using a simulation-based collaborative flight formation system, four presentation modes with varying levels of information and dynamics were experimentally tested and evaluated across subjective dimensions (cognitive workload, situation awareness, and interface design) and objective dimensions (design task flow information load and operational task flow information load). The results indicate that Level 3 and Level 4 modes significantly reduced mental workload and improved practical operational ability compared to the original mode. Level 3 achieved the highest interface evaluation scores, while Level 4 demonstrated the lowest design task flow information load. Both modes significantly enhanced situation awareness. Altogether, Level 3 and Level 4 resulted in the most significant improvements in personnel capabilities. These findings provide valuable insights for optimizing interface design and improving situation awareness in collaborative flight formation tasks. |
