Abstract

Presented is a new approach to the quantitative assessment of the teamwork skills for the operators of complex technical systems, using the example of collaborative control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This approach is based on representing operator activities as Markovian processes with discrete states and discrete time, followed by an analysis of transition probability matrices between elementary operations using quantum representations. Software tools are described that simulate distributed control of two UAVs and can be used for both educational and research purposes, enabling diagnostic tasks and quantitative comparison of coordinated control skills.
