Construction of a Situation Awareness Influencing Factor System for Manned Submersibles in Dynamic Complex Underwater Operations

Abstract

To bolster the marine economy and strengthen maritime power, China's manned submersible program faces the challenge of managing the inherent complexity of underwater operations and the need for synchronized device interactions. This paper presents a novel situational awareness information system designed specifically for these complex environments. This system integrates multiple factors such as equipment status, task requirements, environmental variables, and human behavior to provide a holistic view. Subsequently, the system effectively organizes and categorizes this diverse information into a structured taxonomy. Furthermore, by utilizing the Analytic Network Process (ANP), the information elements are prioritized, offering a nuanced analysis that underscores the system's critical role in enhancing decision-making capabilities for divers and improving the efficiency and safety of underwater operations. Ultimately, the effectiveness of this system is demonstrated, showcasing its superiority in managing the complexities of manned submersible operations.
