The objective of this research is to evaluate how the complexity factors present in a Beyond Visual Range (BVR) combat arena influenced the achievement of situational awareness and the decision-making process of the F-5M pilots of the Brazilian Air Force (FAB). A field survey was carried out to analyze the perception of the 38 pilots present at EXOP BVR 1-2015. Based on these data, analyzes referring to the process of formation of situational awareness of Endsley (1995) were inferred to the universe of 52 operational pilots in combat with missiles beyond the visual range. The decision-making method of Rasmussen’s (1982) marked the study of the responses of pilots, which focused on the SRK cognitive control model. The analysis of the results highlighted that the eleven factors of complexity showed to the 38 pilots undermined the formation of the situational awareness at level 3, since those hindered the future projections of the squadrons members actions in the arena. However, the same factors influenced the decision-making within the Knowledge-Based Behavior (KBB) model, which evidences actions based on previous knowledge
