SYNOPSIS
Urgent Capability Acquisition and Rapid Prototyping are accelerated processes intended to put functional solutions in the hands of the warfighter in a fraction of the time. Engineers often view them as means to test and mature technical capabilities. While this is critical, it is also critical to test and mature how humans will interface with the system in various roles including trainer, installer, user, maintainer, help desk agent, etc. This presentation will highlight key Human Factors Engineering activities that programs must perform to ensure the solutions they are building will ultimately provide the capability warfighters need in a manner they can use and maintain
PRESENTERS
Ms. Lily Zeman currently serves as Deputy Department Lead Systems Engineer at the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific and a passionate advocate of Human Systems Integration. Helps the Navy develop system that are warfighter centered. They must be built with the end user in mind, resulting in systems that are easy to use and easy to maintain. Ms. Zeman holds a BS in Electronics and Computer Engineering and a MS Cybersecurity and Information Assurance from National University.
John Wood, PhD, currently serves as Department Lead Systems Engineer at the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific where he leads world-class engineers as they create future warfighting capabilities for the US Navy and other Department of Defense customers. Throughout his career, Dr. Wood has consistently applied his systems engineering and project management expertise to solve mission and safety critical challenges within healthcare, aviation, and defense. Dr. Wood holds a BS in Electrical Engineering from the US Naval Academy and a PhD in Systems Engineering from the George Washington University.
