Abstract	This presentation will discuss ten human supervisory control challenges that could significantly impact operator performance in the control of one or more unmanned vehicles. The ten challenges include information overload, appropriate levels of automation, adaptive automation, distributed decision-making through team coordination, complexity measures, decision biases, attention allocation, supervisory monitoring of operators, trust and reliability, and accountability. Unmanned vehicles operations, particularly those with heterogeneous components, will bring increases in the number of information sources, volume of information, and operational tempo with significant uncertainty, all which will place higher cognitive demands on operators. Thus it is critical that human-systems integration research focus not only on technological innovations, but also the strengths and limitations of human-automation interaction in a complex system.
