What is the purpose of Army regulation AR 602-2 HUMAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION IN THE SYSTEM ACQUISITION PROCESS?
The purpose of AR 602-2 is to provide guidance and procedures for implementing Human Systems Integration (HSI) in the acquisition process, ensuring the effective integration of human capabilities and limitations into the development of military systems.

What does Human Systems Integration (HSI) refer to?
HSI is the process of integrating human capabilities and limitations into system design, development, testing, fielding, sustainment, and disposal.

Who is responsible for ensuring HSI is properly implemented in the system acquisition process?
The program manager (PM) and the Materiel Developer (MD) are responsible for ensuring HSI is properly integrated throughout the system acquisition process.

How does HSI benefit the Army acquisition process?
HSI ensures that military systems are designed and developed with consideration for the human element, resulting in systems that are more effective, efficient, and reliable. It also reduces risks, enhances safety, and improves the overall performance of the system.

What are the primary objectives of HSI?
The primary objectives of HSI are to enhance system human effectiveness, optimize system performance, reduce total ownership costs, and improve safety and training effectiveness.

What are the key elements of the HSI process outlined in AR 602-2?
The key elements of the HSI process include system requirements analysis, system design analysis, personnel selection and training, human factors engineering, manpower and personnel integration, safety and occupational health, health hazard assessment, and system integration and test.

When should HSI considerations be addressed in the system acquisition process?
HSI considerations should be addressed early and continuously throughout the system acquisition process, starting from the initial concept development phase and extending to fielding, sustainment, and disposal.

What are the primary responsibilities of the Materiel Developer (MD) in implementing HSI?
The MD is responsible for conducting HSI analyses, assessments, and evaluations to ensure that human factors are considered in system design, development, and test activities. They are also responsible for identifying and implementing mitigations for identified human performance issues.

What role does the Human Systems Integration (HSI) Integrated Product Team (IPT) play?
The HSI IPT serves as a focal point for integrating HSI across all relevant phases of the system acquisition process. It facilitates communication, coordination, and collaboration between key stakeholders involved in HSI.
