FOREWORD

1. This standard is approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense.

2. This standard establishes general human engineering criteria for design and development of military systems, equipment, and facilities. Human engineering is one of seven domains of human-systems integration (as defined in the DoD 5000 series) and is synonymous with human factors engineering. The purpose of this standard is to present human engineering design criteria, principles, and practices to be applied in the design of systems, equipment, and facilities so as to:

a. Achieve required performance by operator, control, and maintenance personnel.

b. Achieve required manpower readiness for system performance.

c. Achieve required reliability of personnel-equipment combinations.

d. Foster design standardization within and among systems.

3. This standard does not alter requirements for system development participation of human engineering specialists to interpret and implement these practices and to provide solutions to human engineering problems that arise and are not specifically covered herein.

4. Requirements herein are expressed in the International System of Units (SI). As a convenience, the metric units are accompanied by their approximate customary system equivalents in parentheses. Angular measure is expressed in degrees unless it is necessary to specify fractions of a degree where milliradians are used.

5. MIL-STD-1472G represented a major revision where the organizational structure of the standard was revamped to group similar material in the same section of the document. While much of the structure remains, additional sections in MIL-STD-1472H addressing habitability, cybersecurity, information presentation, and handheld devices have been added along with a section on ship bridge design that was recently issued under a Change 1 to MIL-STD-1472G.

One of the most significant changes to the “H” revision is addressing gender accommodation to meet the direction from Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter’s memorandum, Implementation Guidance for the Full Integration of Women in the Armed Forces (3 December 2015), addressing the accommodation of female populations. Secretary Carter’s memo states, “The Services will begin to execute the implementation of their approved plans to open all military occupational specialties, career fields, and branches for accession by women as soon as practicable.” This revision to MIL-STD-1472 provides design criteria to remove unnecessary barriers to military service for men and women. For example, with respect to lifting requirements, equipment must conform to the mixed-gender lift requirements and be labeled accordingly. As a result, implications may be for increasing the number of lifters required for certain gear and equipment or require redesign or modification to reduce weight or increase lift points or handles. The goal of achieving truly “operationally relevant and gender neutral standards” reflects a balance between operational requirements (such as operationally validated military occupational specialty [MOS]-related lifting standards) and a reasonable accommodation for the broadest user possible. One must ensure that the criteria outlined herein to inform the design of military systems, equipment, and facilities is written such that it will not be applied in ways that are potentially career-limiting to military service members. It is the procuring activity’s responsibility to consider all factors, including user population attributes, in design. To that end, military physical fitness testing standards are not appropriate for use in design criteria or to quantify human performance limits. The interpretation and use of this design standard should not create circumstances where a procuring activity accidently or deliberately defines its target user population such that a disproportionate number of men or women in the military that are assigned to tasks will not be able to interact and use certain equipment effectively to achieve the mission. The requirements generation, developmental process, production, and end item procurement should all be aligned to address the gender neutral directive.

iii

It is recognized that there may be situations in which system designs cannot meet the MIL-STD-1472H anthropometry or lifting and strength requirements for some valid operational, technical, or programmatic reason.

In these cases, the following should be provided:

a. A clear operational need for the design to exceed the anthropometric or lifting requirements for an identified task and duty position.

b. Explanation as to why there is either no viable design alternative or a listing of the impacts of any mitigation strategies describing why such alternatives are cost prohibitive or not operationally feasible (e.g., unacceptable adverse cost or performance impact to comply).

c. Clearly articulate evidence-based rationale as to why not accommodating a certain user population does not differentially discriminate by gender so as to not impact career advancement or what actions will be taken to mitigate that impact.

6. Comments, suggestions, or questions on this document should be addressed to Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, ATTN: SEA 05S, 1333 Isaac Hull Avenue, SE, Stop 5160, Washington Navy Yard D.C.

1. SCOPE

1.1 Scope. This standard establishes general human engineering design criteria for military systems, subsystems, equipment, and facilities.

1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to present human engineering design criteria, principles, and practices to optimize system performance with full consideration of inherent human capabilities and limitations as part of the total system design trade space to more effectively integrate the human as part of the system, subsystems, equipment, and facilities to achieve mission success.

1.3 Application. This standard is applicable to the design of all systems, subsystems, equipment, and facilities, except where provisions relating to aircraft design conflict with crew system design requirements or guidelines of JSSG-2010. Unless otherwise stated in specific provisions, this standard applies to design of systems, subsystems, equipment, and facilities for use by both men and women. While this standard provides design criteria with respect to human capabilities and limitations, it is not intended to limit innovation in the design or selection of specific hardware, software, materials, and processes. This standard should be tailored by the Government as part of the contract. If it is not tailored by the Government, the contractor should determine any appropriate tailoring for the applicability to the system and recommend tailoring to the Government for approval.

1.4 Manufacturing tolerances. When manufacturing tolerances are not perceptible to the user, this standard will not be construed as preventing the use of components whose dimensions are within a normal manufacturing upper or lower limit tolerance of the dimensions specified herein.

2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS

2.1 General. The documents listed in this section are specified in sections 3, 4, or 5 of this standard. This section does not include documents cited in other sections of this standard or recommended for additional information or as examples. While every effort has been made to ensure the completeness of this list, document users are cautioned that they must meet all specified requirements of documents cited in sections 3, 4, or 5 of this standard, whether or not they are listed.

2.2 Government documents.

2.2.1 Specifications, standards, and handbooks. The following specifications, standards, and handbooks form a part of this document to the extent specified herein. Unless otherwise specified, the issues of these documents are those cited in the solicitation or contract.
