Abstract

Recent years have seen an increased recognition of the role of the human operator in both the development and use of military systems. Human Factors Integration (HFI), the structured management process for ensuring the capture and accommodation of human capabilities and limitations in design has, however, a mixed record of success within military system developments. This paper describes research conducted by the HFI Defence Technology Centre (HFI DTC) to identify and address the barriers to HFI through the development of processes, methods and tools. Future changes in the operational context and military doctrine are also discussed in terms of the likely adaptations to the HFI process.
