Proposed Military Standard for Task Analysis

Abstract

This document is the final draft of a proposed military standard on task analysis that has begun formal coordination within DoD and industry. The standard was prepared by the Army's Human Engineering Laboratory (HEL) with the Battelle Columbus Laboratory as supporting contractor, and previous drafts were coordinated twice with tri-service agencies represented on the Testing and Evaluation SubTAG of the DoD Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group. Impetus for this work came from a memorandum from the Commander of the U.S. Army Operational Test and Evaluation Agency. However, once work began, nearly a dozen agencies in all three armed services expressed interest and provided support. The text of the standard and the supporting data item descriptions (DIDs) are being published by HEL so that trial implementation may begin in selected procurements prior to completion of the formal DoD-industry coordination. When the standard is officially promulgated in the Acquisition Management Systems and Data Requirements Control List (AMSDL), this interim standard will be canceled.
