16 - 20 May 2022
An in-person DOD HFE TAG #74 is being planned at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center (MMAC) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Current Guidance for Entering an FAA Facility (as of 3 May 2022)
Per CDC protocol the FAA and MMAC in Oklahoma City, OK are currently at a Green Status which states,
“Employees are not required to wear a mask in public indoor settings, regardless of vaccination status.”
Holistic Human Factors Engineering
Increasingly in the human factors, human performance, and Human Systems Integration (HSI) fields, there is recognition that factors combine and interact to influence efficiency, effectiveness, safety, and satisfaction related to human performance, sometimes in unpredictable ways. It is important to investigate and account for these interactions in order to reach and sustain the capability levels and operational tempo required of the technological age and modern warfare.
TAG #74 will highlight Holistic Human Factors Engineering (HHFE) and explore the impacts of innovative technologies and novel approaches on human mental and physical health, wellness, and capabilities. A myriad of human factors techniques and technologies are relevant to this space, such as wearables for situation awareness; mental imagery for mastery; big-data analytics to target interventions; and mixed reality, artificial intelligence, and machine learning application to selection, training, and system maintenance.
The call for abstracts and registration will be available early 2022. In addition to presentations and poster sessions, submissions will be sought for innovative technology demonstrations providing hands on experiences to TAG attendees. This is a golden opportunity to garner feedback on your design and discover opportunity for collaboration.
TAG leadership is monitoring COVID trends and will adjust to a virtual session, if necessary.
On 16 January 2020 the Acting Director of Defense Research and Engineering for Research and Technology approved the 74th DoD HFE TAG meeting and subsequently on 10 July 2020 designated the DoD HFE TAG as a recurring DoD-hosted conference.
On 14 February 2022 the Director of Defense Research and Engineering for Research and Technology approved the 74th DoD HFE TAG meeting that had been
postponed from 2020.
On April 21, 2022 the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering approved the 74th DoD HFE TAG meeting in accordance with COVID-19 protocols.
