SMC-S-023 (2010), AFSC SPACE AND MISSILE SYSTEMS CENTER STANDARD: HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACE DESIGN CRITERIA (VOL. 1) USER INTERFACE REQUIREMENTS (19-MAR-2010) [SUPERSEDING COE UIS V4.3]., This revised SMC standard comprises the text of The Aerospace Corporation report number TOR-2010(8591)-2 entitled Human Computer Interface (HCI) Design Criteria Volume 1: User Interface Requirements which contains the following major changes from Defense Information Systems Agency report entitled Common Operating Environment (COE) User Interface Standard (UIS), Version 4.3. This document defines the user interface style to be delivered by software developed for the USAF space systems. The specifications provided here emphasize commonality in \"look and feel\" because it is a key element of usability. Compliance is especially important since the applications in a system can be built from multiple segments, each produced by a different organization. In this document, the term \"application\" is used to refer to a user application, i.e., the software with which users interact to perform one or more related operational tasks. The tasks in an application can be performed by software taken from different sources. As a result, an application may contain one or more segments, and a single segment may be present in one or more applications.
