Technology Trust: System Information Impact on Autonomous Systems Adoption in High-Risk Applications
Michael G. Anderson and Johnathan C. Mun
The need for experience-based trust may be reduced such that adoption of autonomous systems can be increased through the use of an anthropomorphic hierarchy of system attributes.

Use of Factors in Development Estimates: Improving the Cost Analyst Toolkit
Capt Matthew R. Markman, USAF, Jonathan D. Ritschel, and Edward D. White
Improving the toolkit available to cost analysts is a key component of better defense program outcomes. Through factor creation and statistical testing, the authors provide guidance on where cost analysts’ efforts should be allocated.

A Learning Curve Model Accounting for the Flattening Effect in Production Cycles
Capt Evan R. Boone, USAF, John J. Elshaw, Lt Col Clay M. Koschnick, USAF, Jonathan D. Ritschel, and Adedeji B. Badiru
This research created a new learning curve for production processes that incorporates a new model parameter. The new parameter allows for a steeper learning curve at the beginning of production and a flattening effect near the end of production.
