Claim One:
1. A method for predicting the cognitive ability of an operator to control a plurality of unmanned vehicles, the method incorporating a system performance mode and an operator performance model and further comprising the steps of: A) calculating a conditional probability for an interface usability decision node; B) using the results of said step A) to calculate an automation level decision node conditional probability; C) using the results of said step B) to calculate an algorithm efficiency decision node conditional probability; D) using the results of said step C) to calculate a task management efficiency decision node; E) using the results of said step D) to calculate an operator decision making efficiency decision nodes; F) calculating a conditional probability that said operator has sufficient said cognitive ability to control said plurality of unmanned vehicles using the results of said step E); the system performance model responsive to the usability, automation level and algorithm efficiency variables for providing a system performance status signal; and, the operator performance model responsive to the task management efficiency and operator decision making efficiency variables for providing an operator performance status signal
