Human Performance Optimization Concept Development and Applications In The Military Field

Abstract

"In these times, dominated by accelerated cognitisation and sophisticated automation, rapid development of computers and multiplication of forms of communication, the human factor seems to have a secondary role. From our point of view, this is just an appearance, because the new cognitive instruments do not replace, but mirror and simulate aspects of people’s higher psychic functions, acting as a multiplier for talented, educated and original minds. The concept of Human Performance Optimization (HPO) represents a systematic effort to use the latest technologies and knowledge to achieve the maximum performance of individuals, teams and/or organisations. At the same time, HPO is an ethical way to optimize technological synapse between the forms of artificial and human intelligence."
