Technology relationship, algorithmic thinking and task performance with UxV

Abstract: There is evidence that subjectively assessed technology relationship, sense of self-efficacy, algorithmic thinking and operation with unmanned vehicles are in correlation. The complex skillset required for both operators and UxV operators requires understanding on nature of information, algorithmic, computational, and epistemic thinking. Based on framework of algorithmic thinking this paper connection between algorithmic thinking, technology relationship, and task performance in operation supported with fleet of unmanned land vehicles. The paper is based on extensive quasi-experiment (n=500) in simulation environment. Key results presented are related to connections between different personal attributes, digital literacy and tasks performance with autonomous systems in the battlefield.

Keywords: UxV, digital literacy, task performance, algorithmic thinking
