DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE STANDARDIZATION PROGRAM-PROJECT 1410-0016. ENGINEERING PRACTICE STUDY - HUMAN ENGINEERING,

Abstract

The study analyzed human engineering requirements and criteria documents in use by the Military Services to achieve a balanced and structured document system in this area composed of a minimum number of fully coordinated and limited coordination specifications, standards, and handbooks. It was concluded that a single military specification for human engineering can be used by the three Services in procurement of military systems, equipment, and facilities (FSC Misc); that a single military standard can be used by the three Services as human engineering design critera for aerospace/missile systems, equipment, and facilities (FSC 1400); and that handbooks remain product and Service oriented. Models of both a suggested military specification and military standard are included for further evaluation. (Author)
