This Defense Intelligence Reference Document, dated 15 December 2010, is a Defense Intelligence Agency report from its Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It looks at how many unmanned spacecraft one human pilot could control during future deep-space missions, drawing on research into air traffic control and piloting of multiple unmanned vehicles. It concludes that the limits are about 16 craft for simple tasks, 7 for moderately complex tasks and 4 for complex mixed fleets. It adds that physiological measures can signal when an operator is overloaded.

UNCLASSIFIED//F81il 8FFI1il.tzk Wili 8Hklf Skin Measurements The ANS controls the opening and closing of sweat glands in response to stress and anxiety. These changes can be observed by measuring electrodermal activity, typically skin conductance response (SCR), 17 but also skin potentials (SP) and skin temperature (ST). A standard score of these measures can be calculated by collecting resting state data prior to the task interval. Serum Levels of Hormones Hormone levels are direct results of activity in the ANS. It is natural to want to continuously monitor certain stress hormones such as adrenaline or cortisol. The difficulty lies in measurement time - typical fast assays of salivary cortisol still require about 15 minutes. 18 Until reliable in-situ monitoring is available, serum levels of hormones will only play a supporting role in establishing baseline capacities or post- incident analysis.
