NATO UNCLASSIFIEDAC/243(Panel-8)TRfl - vi -Volume Iengineering analysis techniques is low. Within NATO it is extremely low, and inconsistent Thissituation is reviewed and recommendations for standardization are developed in Volume 1,Chapter 5.0.2 MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONSxiii. Based on the work outlined above, RSG.14 makes the followingrecommendations:* Panel-8 should support research and development of function allocation and taskanalysis techniques to deal with cognitive behaviour, as discussed in Chapters 3 and 4.* The DRG should collaborate with the NATO agencies responsible for standardizationto ensure the application of human engineering in NATO projects through thedevelopment of standards, specifications, and guidelines which identify andcdescribehuman engineering analysis techniques, the latter based on Volume 2 of this report, asdiscussed in Chapter 5.* The DRG should collaborate with the NAGs to explore how current technologicaldevelopments can be used to integrate the human, software, and hardware aspects ofproject development in such a way that human engineering becomes an inseparable partof the design/development process based on the use of computer software, asdiscussed in Chapter 3.0.3 MILITARY IMPLICATIONSxiv. The following are the military implications of the work of the RSG:* The effectiveness of a total system depends on the performance of the humancomponents for planning, decision making, supervision, control, and maintenance.* Manpower is an increasingly limited and expensive resource, and must be utilized tothe most effective extent possible.* The human components have a large influence on the life cycle costs, effectiveness,reliability, and readiness of weapon systems.* Effective human sub-system utilization is obtained through the application of humanengineering throughout the entire weapon system development process, includingupgrading and updating.* The human engineering analysis techniques described in this report are essential to thatprocess and should be used in future development projects. Standardization of theapproach to human engineering within NATO will facilitate the use of thosetechniques.NATO UNCLASSIFIED- vi -
