The rapid growth of the drone industry, particularly in the use of small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), requires the development of advanced training protocols for remote pilots. Remote pilots must develop a combination of technical and cognitive skills to manage the complexities of modern drone operations. This paper explores the integration of neurotechnology, specifically auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS), as a method to enhance remote pilot training and performance. The scientific literature shows aVNS can safely improve cognitive functions such as attention, learning, and memory. It has also been shown useful to manage stress responses. For safe and efficient sUAS/UAV operation, it is essential for pilots to maintain high levels of vigilance and decision-making under pressure. By modulating sympathetic stress and cortical arousal, aVNS can prime cognitive faculties before training, help maintain focus during training and improve stress recovery post-training. Furthermore, aVNS has demonstrated the potential to enhance multitasking and cognitive control. This may help remote pilots during complex sUAS operations by potentially reducing the risk of impulsive decision-making or cognitive errors. This paper advocates for the inclusion of aVNS in remote pilot training programs by proposing that it can provide significant benefits in improving cognitive readiness, skill and knowledge acquisition, as well as operational safety and efficiency. Future research should focus on optimizing aVNS protocols for drone pilots while assessing long-term benefits to industrial safety and workforce readiness in real-world scenarios.
