Human Factors Integration Requirements for Armoured Fightmg Vehicles. Part 2: A Review of the Human Systems Integration Material Available for Armour Systems SORs and a Plan for Future HSI and R&D

Abstract

The aim of this proJect was to use the Directorate of Land Requ~rements (DLR)-3 Armoured Fightlng Vehicle (AFV) Human Systems Integrat~on (HSI) initiative to explore the kinds of information required, and the lnformation whlch lS currently available, to complete the HSI sect~ons of the new Department of National Defence (DND) Statement of Operatlonal Requirement (SOR) templates. The deliverables from thls project ~ncluded 1) A report on how the HSI requlrements in the new SOR templates can be addressed and how the AFV HSI lnformatlon could be distributed as part of a www site uslng AFV HSI as a worked example. 2) A report on what AFV HSI informatlon is known, what information needs to be collected, how much of it requires R&D, what R&D needs to be completed, and the outllne of an AFV HSI R&D program to generate the requirements for the future. 3) An annotated bibliography of the available information relevant to GSI requlrements for future AFV related SORs, organized to match the SOR template. This report examines the HSI information requirements for future armour SORs lncluding vehicles, AFV subsystems and crew station upgrades, crewman clothing and equipment, and crew sustainment. A review of the relevant literature ldentifled a number HSI related areas of future SORs for which a reasonable requirement does not appear within existlng literature. A series of R&D projects were identified a~d described to address the gaps in existlng knowledge about HSI requirements for future SORs. These projects ~ncluded R&D in the areas of Deflciencies, Scenarios, Task Performance, Crew CharacterlStlCS, AFV and Subsystem Performance, Mounted Warriors Day, Crewman's Day, Crew Station Modeling, Threat Studies, Safety and Health, Human Error Frameworks, and Crew Sustainment. Together the recommended R&D projects form an integrated program, with a series of R&D streams. The report concludes with the R&D proJects prioritized in flve different ways?I) R&D priorit
