The U.S. Marine Corps has proposed sensor and display improvements to provide night attack capability for the AV-8B and F/A–18 aircraft. The aircraft enhancements include the addition of a Forward Looking Infrared sensor displayed on a new raster Head-Up Display, Night Vision Goggle compatibility, and a color multi-purpose display. A human factors engineering analysis was performed to identify the human factors impact of the cockpit changes involved. Included in the analysis were a literature review, interviews with pilots, design considerations review, and development of recommendations based on both human factors standards and lessons learned from similar projects. The primary areas researched were: cockpit lighting, color displays, and night vision sensor utilization.

The use of computers as a productivity improvement tool for “knowledgeworkers” is examined. Limitations of the human factors engineering analysis of work station design for the knowledgeworker are developed. Suggestions for future research directions are made.
