The focus of this paper is on user-centered systems engineering activities supporting the acquisition, requirements gathering, and preliminary design of a major technology advancement for an operating commercial command and control system. Major activities included establishment of user-centered customer and developer organizations, knowledge acquisition, human-machine interface design and prototyping, scenario and system simulation development, and demonstration of the proposed system. Because the system was designed with substantial user input, it received a high degree of user acceptance.
