HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
Abstract
The objective of this program element (PE) is to conduct applied research on aspects of human factors engineering that impact the capabilities of individual and teams of Soldiers operating in complex, dynamic environments. The results of the research will enable maximizing the effectiveness of Soldiers and their equipment for mission success. The aspects of human factors that will be studied include sensing, perceptual and cognitive processes, ergonomics, biomechanics and the tools and methodologies required to manage interaction within these areas and within the Soldiers' combat environment. Research is focused on decision-making; human robotic interaction; crew station design; improving Soldier performance under stressful conditions such as time pressure, information overload, information uncertainty, fatigue, on-the-move and geographic dispersion; and enhancing human performance modeling tools (project H70). Work in this PE complements, and is fully coordinated with, efforts in PE 0602601A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Advanced Technology), PE 0602786A (Warfighter Technology), PE 0602120A (Sensors and Electronic Survivability), PE 0602784A (Military Engineering Technology), PE 0602783A (Computer and Software Technology), PE 0602308A (Advanced Concepts and Simulation), PE 0602785 (Manpower/Personnel/Training Technology), PE 0603005A (Combat Vehicle and Automotive Technology), PE 0603710A (Night Vision Advanced Technology), PE 0603015A (Next Generation Training and Simulation), and PE 0603007A (Manpower, Personnel, and Training Advanced Technology). Project J21 funds Congressional interest item. The cited work is consistent with the Director, Defense Research and Engineering Strategic Plan, the Army Modernization Strategy, and the Army Science and Technology Master Plan. Work in this project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD.
