Air and Space Operations Center (AOC) Facility Design Guidelines: A Human Factors Engineering Perspective

Abstract

This document addresses the human factors design aspects of users' workspace and the facility's habitability. The workspace covers the users' individual work environment (i.e., seats, desks, storage space, etc.) and the arrangements of the individual workspaces into team (i.e., cell) workspaces and into the larger aspect of the group (i.e., collections of cells) workspace. Workspace arrangement of teams and groups which facilitates collaboration has been shown to increase mission effectiveness and reduce manpower requirements in other U.S. weapon systems. Habitability factors are those living and working conditions that are necessary to sustain the health, comfort, safety, and morale of users. Specifically addressed are the environmental factors of lighting, temperature, ventilation, humidity, and acoustical noise.
