SYSTEM ACQUISITION & ENGINEERING
Program Manager Glen Hewitt directs activities focused on the application and integration of human factors engineering in systems acquisitions related to the definition, procurement, design, development, testing and implementation of diverse systems within the FAA and National Airspace System. Activities are conducted that are associated with building a human factors engineering program within the FAA and its systems engineering community. The program addresses: the application of human factors engineering during mission and requirements analysis and development; investment analysis; product analysis; design, development and testing; source selection preparation and evaluation; and post-deployment data collection and analysis.
The objectives associated with this program are designed to ensure that the incorporation of human factors engineering is explicit, timely, systematic, comprehensive, efficient and effective. Efforts relate to identifying and defining system-specific human factors requirements, assessing human factors risks, providing technical solutions to mitigate risks, advising on policy decisions related to human factors engineering, conducting human factors training, acquiring and supporting human factors tools and technologies, and implementing human factors plans. Technical support to system acquisition programs encompasses areas of study related to human-computer interface, staffing and training, workload, procedures, documentation, communications, and other salient human-system interface issues.
