Abstract :
Several facets of human factors engineering that are thought to deserve further discussion are examined. The reasons for implementing a human factors program and utilizing human factors resources are identified. Five requirements necessary for the successful integration of an effective human factor program in today´s complex weapons system acquisition environment are identified and discussed. Recommendations of what can be done to increase awareness and application of human factors in the procurement cycle are offered
