This paper conducts a systematic quantitative literature review exploring the interplay between human factorsrnand artificial intelligence (AI) in Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUM-T) contexts. With AI’s rapid advancementrnand its growing role in military operations, especially in UAV management, a deeper understanding of howrnhuman cognitive capabilities intersect with AI is crucial. This review meticulously evaluates the existing bodyrnof literature, following a methodical process of gathering information, building a database, and generating arnthorough analysis. The results of this review are organized into principal thematic areas, including levels of au-rntonomy, the dynamics of trust in human-machine interactions, cognitive workload management, experimentalrnpractices, and analysis of human factors. The findings underscore the intricacies of integrating AI with humanrnoperators in MUM-T scenarios, revealing both challenges and opportunities. This comprehensive literaturernoverview aims not only to synthesize current knowledge but also to guide future research and development inrnthe domain, underlining the need for strategies that effectively marry AI capabilities with human expertise inrncomplex military operations
