This paper describes two experiments to examine the qualitatively different effects of automation false alarms and misses as they relate to operator compliance and reliance for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Two experiments were conducted in which participants navigated a simulated UAV through a series of mission legs while searching for targets and monitoring system parameters. Results indicated that with the low-reliability aids, false alarms correlated with poorer performance in the system failure task, whereas misses correlated with poorer performance in the concurrent tasks. Compliance and reliance do appear to be affected by false alarms and misses, respectively, and are relatively independent of each other.
