People are the most critical element in system safety, reliability and performance. Their creativity, adaptability and problem-solving capabilities are key to resilient operations across the gamut of aerospace applications. Advances in computing power and communications, increased automation and access to distributed information resources for collaboration, monitoring and control, all contribute to new challenges for humans as critical decision-makers in complex systems.
In aviation, people are the backbone of a national aviation system that is straining to meet growing consumer demands. In space, long-duration missions and reusable launch vehicles will increase the requirement for safe and effective human performance in the harsh environments surrounding our planet. Human-centered design must address the need for safe, efficient and cost-effective operations, maintenance and training, both in flight and on the ground.
The Human Systems Integration Division is creating and applying a new understanding of how individuals and teams assimilate and act on information in pursuit of goals critical to the success of NASA missions. |
