This paper describes the application of affordable program management software to the task of planning human factors programs conducted in support of complex system developments. A model of the military system acquisition process was developed and a model human factors engineering program was overlayed upon it. Interdependencies were created between the models so that changes made in the acquisition schedule would cause the human factors program to be automatically tailored. This approach has potential to reduce planning time and increase the quality of human factors plans.

The U.S. Navy is developing methods for integrating the disciplines concerned with personnel considerations into the weapon system acquisition process. This integration essentially involves human factors engineering, manpower, personnel and training, and life support engineering. Since the Navy already has the HARDMAN methodology in place to ensure that manpower, personnel and training concerns are addressed early in system development, the process of integration of personnel issues will involve expanding the HARDMAN methods and data to include human factors engineering and life support engineering, resulting in the Enhanced HARDMAN process. This paper describes the objectives of Enhanced HARDMAN.

Enhanced HARDMAN constitutes the Navy's implementation of the DoD Directive 5000.53 “Manpower, Personnel, Training and Safety (MPTS) in the Defense System Acquisition Process”. Enhanced HARDMAN integrates the domains of human engineering, manpower, personnel and training (MPT), and life support and safety through: 1) a front-end analysis applicable to all domains and to the integration of domain requirements; 2) a consolidated data base applying to all domains; 3) acquisition of lessons learned for all domains; and 4) application of Enhanced HARDMAN measures of effectiveness and T&E activities addressing all domains. The elements of Enhanced HARDMAN are: a standardized and formalized Enhanced HARDMAN process addressing MPTS activities and products at each phase of the weapon system acquisition process; a consolidated Enhanced HARDMAN data base; automated Enhanced HARDMAN analysis tools; Enhanced HARDMAN analyst productivity tools; and a report generator for producing Enhanced HARDMAN plans and reports.

This paper reports on the optical properties of an aircraft canopy. In this study, canopy induced target displacement is studied for nine possible eye positions. The following general trends are noted: (1) the average absolute target displacement increases as viewing height increased; (2) the range of elevation target displacement increases as viewing height increases; (3) the range of elevation target displacement increases at lower sight depression settings, independent of viewing height; and (4) there is considerable parallax between the right and left eyes at 1 inch above design eye position, but, virtually no parallax 1 inch below design eye position. This study concluded that pilot interface with aircraft optics should be evaluated early in the system acquisition process.
