SMC-T-001 (2008), AFSC SPACE AND MISSILE SYSTEMS CENTER TAILORING: TAILORING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIL-STD-1472F (08-AUG-2008)

SMC-T-001 (2008), AFSC SPACE AND MISSILE SYSTEMS CENTER TAILORING: TAILORING INSTRUCTIONS FOR MIL-STD-1472F (08-AUG-2008)., This new-issue SMC tailoring comprises the text of The Aerospace Corporation report number TOR-2003(8583)-01, entitled Evaluation of MIL-STD-1472F - Human Engineering. As part of its Systems Engineering Revitalization effort, the Space and Missile Systems Center is reintroducing the use of specifications and standards in defining its program technical baselines. The Center Commander issued a policy letter in January of 2003 that embraces the use of government, industry and professional society specifications and standards in program baselines. SMC has compiled a priority list of specifications and standards from various sources and is in the process of reviewing these to determine which can be used as is or need to be modified or rewritten. In the near term, these specs and standards will be issued as interim reports. In the longer term, they may be formally issued as military specifications or standards or through various professional societies. This briefing summarizes the analysis and recommendations for the HUMAN FACTORS technology area. Human factors is the systems science encompassing knowledge about human performance and the assignment of appropriate functions for humans and machines, whether people serve as operators, maintainers, or users in the system. And, it advocates systematic use of such knowledge to achieve compatibility in the design of interactive systems of people, machines, and environments to ensure their effectiveness, safety, and ease of performance. Human factors is also called Human Engineering, Human Systems Integration (HSI) , Man-Machine Interface (MMI), Human-Machine Interface (HMI), and in the case of software interfaces – Human Computer Interface (HCI).
