An article featuring the research of the Human Systems Integration Division’s Dr. Immanuel Barshi appeared in the November 2025 issue of the Swiss Air Force Flight Safety magazine. The article titled "People as the Architects of Safety" describes Dr. Barshi's work under the Human Contribution to Safety (HC2S) subproject of the System Wide Safety (SWS) project of ARMD/AOSP. The article describes the overall approach taken by the HC2S work and includes specific recommendations to be implemented by Air Force organizations and by individuals. Such recommendations include seeing variability as a strength rather than a threat to be controlled, creating error-tolerant structures, and promoting trust in the professional competence of employees.

The magazine which is published in both German and French concludes the article with the following: "If we want to further develop aviation safety, we must view people not as a risk, but as active producers of safety. This means putting the following into practice: A culture of learning instead of blame; A focus on improvement instead of control; Systems and processes that utilize human strengths instead of limiting them."
