Operations and Human Factors
Our mission is to support the military that protects the interests of the Netherlands, even at the frontlines.
We work on innovative solutions that provide Defense with the best tools and methods. For individual soldiers and teams. In contact with each other and their systems. With progressive education and training, aimed at executing comprehensive operations under the most challenging circumstances.
With all our scientific knowledge, skills, and energy, we support Defense, so technological innovation becomes an integral part of military practice.
This way, our military personnel remains world-class in every domain: land, sea, air, space, and digital. On every scale, from heartbeat to headquarters.
Read how the Ministry of Defence, emergency services, and also companies use our knowledge on this subject.

José Kerstholt
Functie:Principal Scientist at TNO and Professor at University of Twente on Behavioral Decision MakingMy research area is human decision making in the context of safety. A main finding in this field is that human decision making skills are far from optimal. Most of our decisions are made intuitively, based on incomplete knowledge, and with limited reflection. Despite these insights however, decision makers themselves are generally quite confident about the accuracy of their decisions.

Josephine Sassen-van Meer
Functie:Senior Scientist IntegratorI am an expert in transdisciplinary work and systems thinking. Specifically, I am concerned with building bridges between the theoretical concept of systems thinking, and (unruly) practice. I do this from my specialization in "human thinking capacity under extreme circumstances". You can contact me for questions on the development of TNO's "system innovation methodology" and the experimental system tables we are currently running.

Mark Neerincx
Functie:Principal Scientist at TNO and Professor at TU Delft on Human-AI CollaborationProgress in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, conversational agents, connectivity and sensing technology increases the capabilities of physical and virtual agents to operate more and more autonomously, possibly as team members, companions or partners of humans. However, the information and decision-making processes of these agents differ from human’s processes fundamentally.
