Improvements in safety in the air and in space can be achieved through better ergonomics, better work environments, and other efforts of traditional avionic psychology that directly affect human behaviors and performance. Not limited to just the aerospace field, this book discusses adaptive probabilistic predictive modeling in human-in-the-loop situations and gets you familiar with a new, powerful, flexible, and effective approach to making outcomes from missions successful and safe.
- Covers the concepts, which are adaptable across other disciplines, and methodology for evaluating the likelihood of a successful outcome of an extraordinary situation
- Considers human performance and equipment/instrumentation reliability, as well as other possible sources of uncertainty
- Presents probabilistic assessment of an aerospace mission outcome
- Provides the most effective, physically meaningful, and cost-effective planning of an aerospace mission
- Offers how to organize and provide the most effective training of personnel
