Human Fact Eng Sys Dev
Abstract
This project conducts applied research on human factors to maximize the effectiveness of Soldiers in concert with their equipment. The resulting data are the basis for weapon systems and equipment design standards, guidelines, handbooks, and Soldier training as well as manpower requirements to improve equipment operation and maintenance. Application of this research will yield reduced workload, fewer errors, enhanced Soldier protection, user acceptance, and allows the Soldier to extract the maximum performance from the equipment. Major efforts research sources of stress, potential stress moderators, and intervention methods, and identify and quantify human performance measures and methods to address current and future warrior performance issues. Individual efforts exploit adaptive learning methods and strategies, enhance and validate human performance modeling tools; investigate integration of advanced concepts in crew stations designs, optimizes interfaces for information systems and improves human robot interaction (HRI) in a full mission context. Efforts in this program element support the Army science and technology Soldier portfolio. Results of these efforts are transitioned to the Research, Development, and Engineering Centers, the Program Executive Offices (PEO) & Program Managers, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), U.S. Army Medical Command (MEDCOM), Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT) G1, U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC), etc. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work is performed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), Aberdeen, MD.
