MIL-STD-46855 Human Engineering Requirements For Military Systems, Equipment, And FacilitiesThis standard establishes and defines the requirements for applying human engineering to the design, development, and acquisition of military systems, equipment, and facilities. These requirements include the work to be accomplished in conducting a human engineering effort integrated with the total system engineering and development effort. These requirements are the basis for including human engineering in proposals; system, equipment, software and associated user interfaces, and facility analysis, design and test; and documentation and reporting.
