MANPRINT Mission and Objectives
Optimize total system performance, reduce life
cycle costs, and minimize risk of soldier loss or
injury by ensuring a systematic consideration of
the impact of materiel design on Soldiers
throughout the system development process.

• Enhance The Operational Effectiveness Of The
  Total System By Optimizing The Soldier-System
  Interface.
• Ensure That System Design Conforms To The
  Capabilities And Limitations Of The Soldier.
• Ensure Systems Are Suitable, Survivable, And Safe
  For Their Intended Use.
• Reduce Total Life-cycle Costs Of Soldier-materiel
  Systems.

TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES, MANPRINT MUST EMBRACE AN
INTEGRATED APPROACH TO TOTAL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

MANPRINT challenges for the Future

FCS Soldier-System of Systems- Challenges
Compared to current force, FCS requires

• Fewer soldiers to operate and maintain a larger
  number of systems (M)

• Soldiers managing greater volumes of information,
  faster (HFE)

• Soldiers performing more cognitively-intensive
  functions, while vehicles are in motion (HFE, T)

• Soldiers operating over much greater distances
  (HFE)

• Soldiers depending on and using embedded training
  (P,T)

• Soldiers acquiring more combined arms skills at
  lower echelons (P)

• Soldiers placing greater trust in networks to
  keep them alive (SSv)

• Soldiers performing all duties without
  degradation over 3 days of intensive combat,
  after deploying over a 4 day period under a wide
  range of environmental conditions (HFE, SH, SSv,
  T)

SoS and individual platform designs must meet
these challenges within the cognitive and
physical limits of the future soldier. The
future soldier looks much like todays soldier.
MANPRINT activities are targeted to address these
issues throughout the FCS program.

Performance, Training, Personnel Tradeoffsfor
Network Operations

• A poorly designed interface will require
  relatively higher skilled users usually a
  higher quality (more costly) training program to
  meet acceptable performance criteria
• A well designed interface can be combined with
  lower skilled users and a less costly training
  program, still result in higher performance
  levels.

13
Some Challenges for MANPRINT/ HSI in the Current
Situation

• Rapid Response Technology Insertion/ Commercial/
  COTS Acquisition
• Why do MANPRINT/ HSI? Its a commercial system,
  well get what we get.
• Technology centered view, not soldier centered
  view.
• Involve MANPRINT early, including source
  selection, design modifications, if any, etc.

• Unmanned systems/ robotics
• Why do we need MANPRINT/ HSI for a fully
  automated system?
• There are no unmanned systems!

14
Some Challenges for MANPRINT/ HSI in the Current
Situation (Cont.)

• The complexity of system integration in a Systems
  of Systems and network centric environment.
• MANPRINT has to play a role at all levels of
  analysis, from soldier and platform to System of
  Systems.
• Scenario based assessment and modeling and
  simulation tools could be especially valuable
  here.

• New concepts that fall through the HSI cracks
• E.g. Training Simulations.
• Could meet the technical requirements, create no
  problems with any domain as specified, but fails
  to be effective at training the target skills
  required by the operational task.

15
MANPRINT Supports the Army Mission

• MANPRINT involves both Assessment and Assistance.
• It must be viewed as and enabler for the soldier
  and the mission, not as an obstruction for the
  Acquisition System
• MANPRINT must be flexible, adaptive and timely
  while continuing to focus on the Soldier.
• We Must Enable Transformation And The War On
  Terrorism By Making The Soldier First In Every
  System Product, Program, And Upgrade
• We Must Maintain Relevance And Credibility In
  Order To Accomplish Our MANPRINT Mission

16
The Bottom Line

• Design efforts must be directed toward
  battlefield success
• Equipment designed with the soldier in mind is
• Easier to use, employ, and operate
• Easier to maintain and sustain
• More effective
• Safer
• More efficient
• More cost effective
• Less likely to require redesign

We must equip the soldier, not man the equipment!

MANPRINT

• MANPRINTs premise
• Manpower requirements and human performance
  characteristics must drive materiel design. They
  should not be a system retrofit
• Why MANPRINT
• Manpower is currently 50-60 of systems
  life-cycle costs
• Manpower requirements must be considered at every
  stage of system acquisition
• MANPRINT is
• A scientific and technical approach to system
  design that integrates analyses of
• Manpower
• Personnel Capabilities
• Training
• Human Factors Engineering
• MANPRINT results in
• Improved total system performance
• Reduced system life-cycle costs
• Optimized manpower requirements
• Increased soldier survivability and safety

• System Safety
• Health Hazards
• Soldier Survivability

23
MANPRINT Mission
Optimize total system performance, reduce life
cycle costs, and minimize risk of soldier loss or
injury by ensuring a systematic consideration of
the impact of materiel design on Soldiers
throughout the system development process.

• MANPRINT accomplishes its mission by
• developing MANPRINT policy,
• assessing materiel development programs for
  MANPRINT compliance,
• serving as the proponent for Soldier-oriented
  research, development, analysis, and studies
• overseeing assistance to materiel development
  programs by MANPRINT practitioners,
• advocating MANPRINT education,
• integrating the MANPRINT domains of manpower,
  personnel capability, human factors engineering,
  training, Soldier safety, health hazards
  prevention, and Soldier survivability to manage
  the impact of these domains on system design.

M A N P R I N T
DOMAINS
MANPOWER - number of military and civilian
personnel required and potentially available to
operate, maintain, sustain and provide training
for systems
PERSONNEL CAPABILITY - cognitive and physical
capabilities require to train, operate, maintain
and sustain material and information systems
TRAINING - instruction, education, and OJT
required to provide personnel and units with
their essential job skills, knowledge, values and
attitudes.
HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING - integration of
characteristics into system definition, design,
development and evaluation to optimize
human-machine performance
26
DOMAINS
M A N P R I N T
SYSTEM SAFETY - design and operating
characteristics of a system that minimize the
human or machine errors or failures that cause
accidents
SOLDIER SURVIVABILITY - characteristics of system
that can reduce fratricide, detectability, and
probability of attack, as well as minimizing
system damage, personal injury, and cognitive and
physical fatigue
HEALTH HAZARDS - design and operating
characteristics of a system that create
significant risks of bodily injury or death
sources of health hazards include loud noise,
chemical and biological substances, extreme
temperatures, and radiation energy.
27
Why is MANPRINT in the G-1?

• MANPRINT is the G-1s only influence over the
  Armys manpower needs and expenditures for future
  systems.
• Equipment problems impact directly on soldier
  issues.
• Manpower and personnel costs are key drivers of
  life-cycle costs.
• MANPRINT must be independent of the acquisition
  community.
