Effective Human Factors Engineering (HFE) has provided the aerospace industry with design considerations that promote aviation safety in the development of complex aircraft systems, as well as the operators and maintainers that utilize those systems. HFE is an integral aspect within the systems engineering process. Measuring the effectiveness of Human Systems Integration (HSI) in the research & development stage is critical for the design of new and modified systems. This paper focuses on the importance of design and integration in the product development stages as well as understanding the impact on the user population.

Ensuring that human performance factors are adequately considered during the system engineering process has proven to be a challenging task for Human Factors and Human Systems Integration (HSI) practitioners. Programs that do not sufficiently include HSI as an integral aspect of planning and execution are at risk of diminished user performance and total system performance, leading to costly and time-consuming re-work. To encourage a greater involvement of HSI in systems engineering, the HSI Framework (HSIF) was developed to explicitly incorporate HSI tasks and products in all stages of system acquisition. The HSIF is a web application that contains general and domain-specific HSI activities, references, and related products. For HSI Practitioners and System Engineers, the HSIF provides technical guidance and best practices, thereby fostering early, explicit, and properly-scoped HSI efforts. In turn, Program Managers and Technical Authorities are provided with the information needed to accurately assess and manage human performance-related risks, leading to relevant, effective, and integrated system performance.

DoD Acquisition has recently undergone major changes. In the recently published DoD Instruction 5000.2 (only available on-line at http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/html/50002.htm ), Human Systems Integration (HSI) has become a focus for all new system acquisitions. In the Instruction, HSI is defined to include: Human Factors Engineering, Personnel, Habitability, Manpower, Training, Environment, Safety and Occupational Health (ESOH), and Survivability. New acquisition policy intends that each of these HSI areas become a documented component of all acquisitions to meet maximal capability with the right number of personnel, suitably trained, and ready for operations, and at the same time assuring their health, safety and survivability. The panel's goals are: 1. To inform the community of the expanded DoD HSI emphasis and 2. To ask the HSI community to assess whether and how we are situated to meet the demands.
