Human Factors and Safety Assessment of Army Systems

Abstract

This report summarizes the human factors and safety assessment support provided to the U.S. Army Operational Test and Evaluation Agency (OTEA) during the planning and conduct of Follow-On Test and Evaluations (FOTE) of the M1A1 tank and the AN/TRC-170 Troposcatter Radio, the planning phase of the Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) test, and the data collection phase of the SINCGARS V test. The findings of this report provide lessons learned for addressing MANPRINT issues during the operational testing of hardware systems. These lessons learned indicate ways MANPRINT can be better integrated into test planning and execution. Human factors and safety-related deficiencies that prevent fully satisfactory system performance are identified for the M1A1 tank and the AN/TRC-170 Radio.
