Abstract

AbstractArchives of Air Force mishap investigation reports provide a large data set of documented system failures. In this paper, we present a tool that analyzes human‐related errors in these mishaps and quantitatively predicts focus areas for new system development. Even new systems have similarities, either in structure or function, to legacy systems. Knowing what design induced errors have plagued past human‐machine interactions can guide new Human Systems Integration (HSI) requirements generation. This is accomplished using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) as the underlying data. Our tool, with a novel method of using the entire mishap data set over the last five years is demonstrated through its application for a next generation unmanned aerial system (UAS). Lastly, the HFACS data is mapped to the domains of HSI for program office consumption.
