Abstract:
Here we describe the design and evaluation of the THATO (TeleHaptic Assistance for Tactical Operations) mobile tactile messaging system, developed to aid dismounted soldier communications, situation awareness, and navigation during tactical operations. The THATO Android application stores tactile messages that are played through its interface to Tactile Control Units (TCUs) when programming logic determines a command has been received from another soldier or the soldier’s location relative to a planned route or landmark/entity of interest triggers a particular message. The evaluation of the system has included multiple human-technology performance evaluations with increasing incorporation of system technologies and task fidelity as the technology has evolved.
