Performance Work Statement (PWS) Human Systems Integration (HSI) Services for Army Systems 27 February 2019
C.1 - Scope/Background C.1. Scope. This Performance Work Statement (PWS) identifies the efforts required to provide general field services to support the Data and Analysis Directorate (DAC), Human Systems Integration Division as it conducts the HSI assessments, evaluations and research Army programs. These services are required to support DAC’s Human Systems Integration (HSI) assessments, research and evaluation efforts including the areas of Event Planning and Execution, System Analysis, and Data Base Support and modeling. These services will result in technical reports and documentation that support the DAC evaluation mission, and focus in the area of system analysis and database support for acquisition systems related to the Army’s modernization program.
C.1.1 Background. The DAC is providing HSI support to the 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, 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 evaluation, assessment and research of the systems in this PWS will employ results from a combination of usability demonstration, Soldier touch points, Contractor tests, Government developmental tests, logistics/HSI demonstrations, and operational tests.
