Human systems integration and strategic planning

Abstract

The National Airspace System (NAS) Enterprise Architecture (EA) describes Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) goals, operational changes, planned infrastructure changes, and guidance materials that are referenced by FAA programs throughout the acquisition process. To strengthen the presence of human factors in NAS infrastructure plans and improvements, the FAA Human Factors Research and Engineering Division executed a redesign of the Human System Integration (HSI) Roadmap. This paper will present the methods utilized to redesign the HSI Roadmap, provide an overview of sample human factors integration opportunities, and key lessons learned.
