Facing the complex battlefield environment and dynamic changeable combat demands, man-machine cooperative combat has become the inevitable trend of air combat. The cockpit display control interaction is a method to realize man-machine cooperation, which has an important influence on obtaining battlefield advantages and achieving combat targets quickly. Firstly, the development history of fighter cockpit display control system, representative figures and related research findings are reviewed. Secondly, based on the challenges in the man-machine cooperative combat, the paper analyzes the status and trend of fighter cockpit display control interaction; and concludes the research hotspots in the aspect of information representation design and interaction realization form. Finally, this paper prospects the development trend of fighter cockpit display control interaction. In order to cope with the complex air combat environment that have extremely large amounts situation information, man-machine cooperative warfare emerges as the times require, which is closed related to the fighter cockpit. The support of intelligent technology and the demand of man-machine cooperation combat urge the development of fighter cockpit display control interaction, which are the interface design mode of task-related, information presentation, cognitive integration and multi-channel interaction method.
