The Subjective Workload Assessment Technique was applied projectively (Pro-SWAT) to the prediction of workload to be expected in a single-pilot, advanced scout/attack helicopter weapon system. A composite mission scenario was created. Five configurations of the pilot/vehicle interface were synthesized, each based on some form of a virtual panoramic display (VPD). They were assessed at each of six segments extracted from the mission scenario. An analysis of variance, with predicted workload as the dependent measure, found highly significant differences between both mission segments and VPD concepts (p < 0.01).
