Human Factors, Performance, Usability Engineering Support

ANTEON (N66604-01-D-345A, N66604-00-D-532A) Conducted human engineering design and application studies leading to functional and technical specifications for acquisition purposes. Modeled, prototyped, tested and evaluated system performance with the man in the loop, preparing technical and operational guidance and training for the Fleet as a result. Assisted NUWCDIVNPT in development of a cross-center resource for intra- and inter-platform human/system integration development and research. ANTEON (N00167-96-D-0006) provided extensive support to NSWCCD for execution of the AN/BQH-9(V) development program, including a concentration on Human Factors issues. These issues were addressed in program events and documentation that Anteon supported, or developed. For example, Anteon support for the AN/BQH-9 Critical Design review involved extensive human factors preparations in terms of controls and displays. Anteon also applied Human Factors principles consistently in support it provided for the operation, maintenance, and management of the hardware and software systems used during analysis of naval ship acoustical properties. ANTEON (GS-23F-0076K) conducted human engineering design and application studies leading to functional and technical specifications for acquisition purposes. Modeled, prototyped, tested and evaluated system performance with the man in the loop, preparing technical and operational guidance and training for the Fleet. ANTEON (N61331-00-D-0019 Subcontract #140882 via ARINC) provided engineering analysis, system integration, and test support for the Organic Mine Countermeasures (OAMCM) crew systems working group. This Crew System Working Group is working on crew interface and how it affects the design and development of a carriage stream, tow and recovery system for the MH-60R helicopter. SAIC (AMSEC) (N00164-03-C-0007, GS-35F-4461G, N00406-02-D-5008) supported NSWC Port Hueneme supporting Battle Group Engineering and Ship Self Defense. Employed modeling and simulation to assist in performing reliability and maintainability allocations, assessments, and analysis. Assessed Manpower, Personnel, and Training (MPT) impacts for all new / modified NSWCCD-SSES cognizant ship machinery, systems, and equipment. Demonstrated how the proposed changes will meet the MP&T requirements necessary to operate and maintain the new system in its intended environment and how this approach shall achieve the supportability requirements of the platform it is to be installed upon along with the shore-based infrastructure established to support today’s MP&T requirements.
