Description
Book SynopsisOver the past decade the military (both US and foreign) has developed a wide range of tools, techniques, and technologies for integrating human factors into systems engineering. Many of these methodologies have been providing a number of cost and performance benefits that otherwise would not have been accomplished. This book deals with this topic.
Trade Review"This handbook is worth the cost and effort to integrate into one's professional knowledge base and personal library. It will be fundamental, if not seminal, to our professional endeavors." (
