Reverse Engineering of the BLACK HAWK (UH-60A) Helicopter: Human Factors, Manpower, Personnel, and Training in the Weapons System Acquisition Process

Abstract

In a briefing format, this report on the BLACK HAWK (UH-60A) helicopter summarizes an examination of human factors, manpower, personnel and training (HMPT) issues during the systems acquisition process. The report is one of four reverse engineering studies prepared at the request of GEN M. R. Thurman, Army Vice Chief of Staff. The four systems were studied as a representative sample of Army weapons systems. They serve as the basis for drawing conclusions about aspects of the weapon system acquisition process which most affect HMPT considerations. A synthesis of the four system studies appears in the final report of the Reverse Engineering Task Force, U.S. Army Research Institute.
