What is the Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group?
And now for another Human Factors Minute. Did you know that the Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub-technical advisory groups?
One of those is the Human Performance Measurement Sub-Technical Group.
The Workload, Stress, and Human Performance sub-tag serves as an ad hoc committee in assessing, guiding, and improving the technical investigation among all government agencies to understand the unique impact on human performance of operator and crew workload, stress, fatigue, and cognitive demands in an increasingly networked environment.
This sub-tag focuses on the body of knowledge, concepts, principles, data, methodology, and criteria pertaining to human physical and mental performance characteristics, its effect on the design of all system interfaces, and contribution to systems and operational effectiveness within manned systems and in coordination with unmanned systems or with distributed or remote collaborators connected through communication networks.
This man-machine integration technology is to be applied in the planning, design, development, and testing of all man systems and is the technical information needed to fulfill the functions required in the systems development process.
