There are three main military applications for SA research:

• There are three main military applications for SA research:

• 1) System/interface design, development, assessment and evaluation
• Operator interfaces designed to enhance SA
• Automated systems must switch without losing operator SA
• 2) Training operators to have better SA
• 3) Selecting operators who are predisposed to having high SA
