A new four-indicator model was presented for evaluating the autonomy level of unmanned platforms.The man-platform interaction capability,situational awareness,environmental adaptability and decision-making capability of the unmanned platform were determined as four indicators applied to evaluate the autonomy level.Then,the indicators were given corresponding scores according to their effect on autonomy levels.Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was used to quantify the four indicators.Finally,the average of the four indicators was taken as the value of the autonomy level.The model was applied to judge the autonomy level of Global Hawk UAV,Red FlagHQ3 UGV and Spartan Scout USV.The results show that the four indicator model is comprehensive,visualized,and simple in quantification.
