This paper discusses the challenges associated with ensuring Human System Integration (HSI) efforts are performed throughout long-duration projects, including the systems engineering lifecycle and the acquisition process. It describes an approach to support this process by identifying relevant software tools that can be used across the lifecycle. The paper also discusses a project to develop a catalog of relevant HSI software tools and to map these tools to the acquisition process and systems engineering lifecycle at the Department of Homeland Security.
