Information systems in support to Situational Awareness (SAW), such as maritime surveillance systems, are an important family of tools that introduced automation with respect to the human cognitive activities. An integral part of the system design process is the testing and evaluation phase. The formal assessment of the mental state of SAW is a complex task. It appears that SAW assessment in testing and evaluation is often either overlooked by adopting a technology-focused approach or only partially addressed through the use of specific human factors methods. In this paper the authors will discuss how the testing and evaluation of maritime surveillance systems could account both for the system components enabling Situational Awareness and the human element.

Abstract
Information systems in support to Situational Awareness (SAW), such as maritime surveillance systems, are an important family of tools that introduced automation with respect to the human cognitive activities. An integral part of the system design process is the testing and evaluation phase. The formal assessment of the mental state of SAW is a complex task. It appears that SAW assessment in testing and evaluation is often either overlooked by adopting a technology-focused approach or only partially addressed through the use of specific human factors methods. In this paper the authors will discuss how the testing and evaluation of maritime surveillance systems could account both for the system components enabling Situational Awareness and the human element. Furthermore, for such systems a simple and coherent list of key performance indicators and measures of performance is provided.
