Human Factors Standardization Document Program Plan

Abstract

The current scope of the Human Factors (HFAC) standardization area includes standardization documents which incorporate human factors engineering (HFE) into the acquisition process. HFE is a comprehensive technical effort to integrate human characteristics (skills, training implications, behavioral characteristics, anthropometric data and biomedical/life support factors) into military systems, equipment and facilities. The HFAC area is currently composed of twenty-two documents (other than data item descriptions). These documents address a) human engineering/life support; b) color/marking to implement human engineering criteria for readability, legibility, etc; c) acoustic noise limits involving maximum exposure, habitability, communication and aural non-detectability; d) anthropometry, and e) keyboard arrangements.
