Abstract
In this paper we describe a field study conducted with trained Navy teams that was designed to assess the impact of an advanced watchstation on team performance. One of our primary hypotheses was that the advanced display technologies incorporated in this watchstation would support superior situation awareness (SA) within the Navy teams, when compared to the SA supported by their current watchstations. We attempted to use traditional probing techniques to assess team SA, but encountered several difficulties. On the other hand, by assessing the frequency of different classes of behaviors across objects with different levels of tactical significance, we were able to find a strong performance pattern that clearly supported our hypothesis. After explaining our approach and results, we briefly discuss implications for other efforts attempting to assess SA in field settings.
