  2. Agenda • Overview of the V6 Presentation Layer Design Process • Review V6 UPE Enhance HCI Candidates

  3. Tomahawk Weapon Control System Upgrades Background - Twcs Upgrades • Advantages • Continuous influx of new functionality • Correct system defects • Improves conduct of system tasking • Upgrade User Interface • User input • Refine individual window design • Problem: • User Interface issues - Non- holistic approach to entire presentation layer • Duplicate info across several windows • Non-intuitive task flow • Unnecessary actions (i.e., button clicks) to accomplish a task

  4. TTWCS v6 - User Interface Improvements • TTWCS v6 User Centered Design: Improve TTWCS v6 User Interface • Uses a holistic / Top Down approach to the User Interface Design • Focus on required Tasking & System Data Requirements • Design Intent: • Increase combat effectiveness • Provide a high level of situational awareness • Make TTWCS easier to learn • Support reduced manning initiatives • Task centered design of TTWCS v6 Presentation Layer • Focus presentation layer on operator and supervisor interaction with the system versus software architecture • Enabled through a Task Analysis

  5. Task Analysis Definitions • Purpose of Task Analysis • Overall vision for TTWCS v6 is to increase Land Attack Warfighter effectiveness without increasing workload on the operator. • While increasing effectiveness, it is desired to maintain a high level of situational awareness and safety. • These goals can be enabled via task-centered design, which begins with conducting a Task Analysis. • Why Task Analysis for v6? • Task centered design streamlines user workflow, minimizing non-necessary or repetitive actions • Saving time / promote situational awareness performing complex tasks under stringent time constraints in a stressful environment. • Task centered design is unachievable without understanding user tasks. • At a minimum, most critical tasks must be analyzed to create a baseline of Task Analysis for follow-on versions of TTWCS. • Task Analysis also supports training design.

  7. Determine Tasks Priority Identify Tasks Tasks Hierarchy Task Analysis Process & Products • Determine TA Process & Products Define Process Establish Task Analysis Methodology Task ID • Identify Tasks • Scope Analysis Identify Task Groups Task Decomposition Generate High Level Diagram • Tasks Decomposition • Determine TTWCS Data Requirements • Automation Allocation & Decomposition Where we are now Generate Component Level Diagram • Generate User Workflow • TTWCS Information Requirements • TTWCS Automation Implementation

  8. General Assumptions • Schedule and budget prohibit analyzing all TTWCS Tasks for v6 • Identify high priority Tasks • Mission and Safety Criticality, Frequency, Mental workload, etc • Establish baseline for future versions • Task Analysis and Usability Testing supports enhancing HCI • Specifically identify flow within tasks and Information Requirements • HCI will not be enhanced and moved into the "Presentation Layer" if the associated UPE Enhance HCI candidate is not funded • Any HCI that is not funded in this way would be only improved from legacy HCI as needed to account for other functional candidates • Assumes UPE09 is funded, requiring no additional modifications to “Business Logic” CSCIs • UPE09 will address removal of HCI from business logic CSCIs • New/modified windows may require additional data from business logic CSCIs • Anticipate data requirement additions will be small • New functionality uncovered during Task Analysis requires a CR • HCI Improvements may include making windows and navigation more intuitive, reduce button clicks, improve “drill-down” features, etc.
