Abstract
The paper summarizes current test and evaluation methods employed by the US Army. The role of human factors in weapons systems acquisition is discussed along with the author's perspective on problems related to the test and evaluation process. Utilization of human performance operational test data to improve the human-materiel interface before type classification or transition into the next phase of development is of particular concern. The paper suggests an alternative to current methods which would combine engineering and operational testing to address both technical and operational system critical issues.
