EASE OF USE: INTUITIVE DRONE MANAGER SYSTEMS

When seconds matter, ease of use wins

Soldiers are asked to do more than ever. A frontline
operator may need to fire a missile, launch a
drone, coordinate via battle management systems,
and report new enemy movement. All in the same
operation.

The good news is that military systems are growing
increasingly sophisticated and helpful. But the reality
is that soldiers don’t have time to learn or re-learn a
new complex interface every time they pick up a tool
they haven’t used for a while. And in the fog of war,
even the most seasoned and well-trained operator
will struggle with a complicated system.

That’s why ease of use is at the core of RQ-35
Heidrun and our software development. As one user
put it - “If you can use a smartphone, you can operate
our system.”
