Human Engineering in the Naval Sea Systems Command

Abstract

This paper describes the status of human engineering in the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). NAVSEA has pursued four major thrusts in the development and application of human engineering technology: 1) human engineering research and development efforts, 2) human engineering front-end analysis, 3) human engineering audits as part of the Logistic Review Group (LRG) formal review of each program, and 4) ship and ship system human engineering design and evaluation. This paper describes the progress that NAVSEA has made in each area.
