Human System Integration

Our HSI capabilities and methods ensure the human is considered an essential part of total system performance in each phase of system development.  Our methods are founded on human factors research, principles, guidelines, standards, and best practices. Our practitioners employ proven scientific processes, tools, and products to support concept development, user-centered design, and operationally-based test and evaluation.

Technical work is coordinated with the overall needs of the system engineering process to facilitate the design of systems that are compatible with human capabilities and limitations. Incorporating HSI enhances usability, reduces error, optimizes workload, improves decision-making, mitigates safety risks, and increases ROI.

HSI technical services include:

  • Expert human factors analyses of software, hardware, workflow, and workspaces
  • User needs analysis and requirement definition
  • Cognitive task and function analyses
  • User working group facilitation for design and testing
  • Concept research, evaluation, and validation
  • Usability testing
  • Operational utility and human performance assessments
  • Advanced user interface design

The Mobile Meteorological Facility (Replacement) Next Generation (METMF(R) NEXGEN) is a USMC mobile tactical meteorological system designed in a sheltered HMMWV in support of the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF).

Maritime Operations Center (MOC) is a command and control (C2) capability in the maritime domain to coordinate actions performed by U.S. forces on, under, or over the sea to gain or exploit control of the sea or to deny its use to adversaries.

Navy Integrated Tactical Environmental System 2 Redesign (NITES2R) is an interactive application which gives users access to meteorology and oceanography forecast and decision-making tools.

Navy Multiband Terminal (NMT) is the U.S. Navy’s next generation system for providing secure, protected, survivable, Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) and wideband satellite communications to navy platforms such as ships, submarines, and shore stations worldwide.

Personalized Recruiting for Immediate and Delayed Enlistment (PRIDE) Modernization (MOD) supports the enlisted accessions process by providing enlisted applicant classification and allocation of training resources. The system matches applicant qualifications to available programs as determined by the needs of the U.S. Navy. PRIDE MOD will provide existing functionality in an architecture that is maintainable and upgradeable, providing the capability to incorporate future high priority requirements.

Tactical Mobile System (TacMobile) is a ground support element for pre-flight mission planning, in-flight data processing, and post-flight data processing and analysis for P-3C, P-8A and BAMS UAS aircraft in the performance of anti-submarine warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.

Ship Signal Exploitation Equipment, Increment F (SSEE Inc F) is a shipboard tactical cryptologic system managed by the Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I), Battlespace Awareness & Information Operations Office (PMW 120). SSEE Inc F allows operators to monitor and analyze signals of interest aboard a variety of ship classes.

Web Standardized Territory Evaluation and Analysis Management (WebSTEAM) Modernization is the U.S. Navy's primary market research tool utilized for making decisions concerning the placement of personnel, setting of recruiting goals, and alignment of Zone, Station, and Zone Improvement Program Codes at the Navy Recruiting Districts. Navy recruiters are provided with near real-time situational awareness and access to demographics and recruiting-related information using map-based interfaces and reporting features.

Global Command & Control System – Maritime (GCCS-M) is the U.S. Navy's primary fielded Command and Control System managed by the Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I), Command & Control Program Office (PMW 150).

Global Combat Support System – Marine Corps (GCSS-MC) is a portfolio of systems designed to modernize U.S. Marine Corps logistics, providing enhanced efficiency and effectiveness for Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) supply and maintenance.

Human Systems Integration Framework (HSIF) is an ongoing project to define and map HSI activities to existing system engineering and acquisition processes.

Hull Surveillance Remotely Operated Vehicle (HSROV) is a robotics technology for augmenting U.S. Navy dive response teams’ efforts at detecting and neutralizing mines attached to ship hulls.
