Situational Awareness Rating Technique (SART)

The Situational Awareness Rating Technique (SART), developed by Robert Taylor in 1990 for the NATO Advisory Group for Aerospace Research and Development (AGARD), is a subjective post-task measurement instrument for assessing an operator's degree of situational awareness (SA)—the perception of elements in the environment, understanding of their meaning, and projection of their future state. SART is widely used in aviation, military operations, emergency response, and human-factors research to evaluate system designs, training effectiveness, and task demands that enable or impair operator situational awareness.
