The Ergonomist's Role in the Weapon System Development Process in Canada,

Abstract

There are several points at which ergonomists can interface with the weapon system development process. The points at which ergonomists working within the Canadian Forces can interface with the system design process include: - the evaluation of ergonomics problems in the operation of existing systems, - the development of the Statement of Requirements, - the development of functional and engineering specifications for the system, - the evaluation (during development) of the system concept, - the evaluation of candidate proposals, - the detailed evaluation of final proposals, - the field evaluation of candidate systems and equipment. The activities through which ergonomists employed by contractors can enter the design process correspond more closely to the stages of Analysis and Detail Design of MIL-H-46855. These activities include: - the development of new system concepts, - the evaluation of system concepts, - the preparation of proposals, - preliminary design, - detailed design.
