Abstract:

Fifty-one human factors design problems reported from the Sgt. York Follow-On Evaluation FOE I are examined with respect to the drivers station 20 problems and the crew compartment housing the squad leader and gunner 31 problems. Each design problem is compared with human factors criteria from MIL- STD-1472C and MIL-HDBK-759A to determine the adequacy of currently available design criteria. Where existing design criteria were inadequate or nonexistent, proposed changes and additions are presented. The purpose of this work is to provide human factors design criteria for future Forward Area Air Defense System FAADS with respect to improved soldier-machine interfaces. Keywords Antiaircraft defense systems.
