AN EVALUATION GUIDE FOR ARMY AVIATION HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS

Abstract

The U. S. Army Human Engineering Laboratories (HEL) have developed a guide, including criteria for evaluating both the technical aspects of a proposed design, and the quality assurance provisions for a contractor's human factors engineering program plan. This model for Army Aviation Materiel was developed to satisfy a number of objectives: (1) clarifying the intent of HEL standard S-4-65 (25); (2) giving contractors better guidance so they can improve the human factors sections of design proposals; (3) giving U. S. Army Materiel Command project managers a clearer understanding of human factors evaluation techniques and the scope of evaluation, as well as the over-all scope of human factors programs; and (4) providing a guideline for Government personnel who must evaluate the human factors adequacy of aviation materiel. References indicate selected human factors criteria and methodology that both contractor and U. S. Army personnel should use during evaluations.
