Performance Work Statement (PWS) Human Systems Integration (HSI) Services for Army Systems 13 May 2024

C.1 Background

This Performance Work Statement (PWS) identifies the efforts required to provide human systems integration (HSI) services to support the DEVCOM Analysis Center (DAC), Human Systems Integration Division as it conducts the HSI analysis, assessments, and research Army programs. These services are required to support DAC’s Human Systems Integration (HSI) assessments, research and analysis efforts including the areas of event planning and execution, system analysis, research and data base support and modeling. These services will result in technical reports and documentation that support the DAC analysis mission, and focus in the area of system analysis and database support for acquisition systems related to the Army’s legacy and modernization program.

The DAC partners with Program Executive Offices (PEOs), U.S. Army Test and Evaluation Command (ATEC) and G1 office to meet the acquisition time line for modernizing the Army with a focus on, but not limited to, long-range precision fires, next-generation combat vehicle, future vertical lift platforms, mobile & expeditionary Army networks, artificial intelligence, air and missile defense capabilities, and Soldier lethality. Manpower, personnel, training, human factors, safety, cognitive readiness, situational awareness, anthropometric and workload are key Human Systems Integration assessment areas of the analysis. This effort requires implementation of a systems approach for examining usability, functionality, and Soldier performance from an operator and staff perspective. Both qualitative and quantitative data support the HSI assessment will be implemented.

The continuous analysis, assessment and research of the systems in this PWS will employ results from a combination of usability demonstrations, Soldier touch points, Contractor tests, Government developmental tests, logistics/HSI demonstrations, and operational tests. Program documents, Government Furnished Information (GFI) include the Human System Integration assessment and domain assessment, operational requirements document (ORD), Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP), and the Operational and Organizational (O&O) plan. Test and Evaluation (T&E) documents include ATEC’s System Evaluation Plan (SEP), and Data Source Matrix (DSM), Emerging Insights (Quick-Look) Report and System Evaluation Report (SER), DAC analysis reports, briefs and various Event Design Plans (EDP), and Detailed Test Plans (DTP).

C.2 Objective
