What is Human Systems Integration (HSI)?
HSI emphasizes the human as the top priority in design and acquisition. This common-sense, “total system approach” to systems engineering considers human elements such as manpower, personnel, training, human factors, safety, health, habitability, and survivability, and the interfaces between these elements. 2. What are the benefits of HSI Systems? Performing HSI work upfront optimizes total systems performance, reduces lifecycle costs, and identifies human-subsystem interface issues during the capabilities requirements processes “before we cut metal.” Since systems are designed with a human focus, they represent a major cost savings because will minimize redesign or reconfiguring. 3. Who makes up the Air Force HSI Office? Besides Ms. Lizza, the 9-person office is led by Dr. Richard Drawbaugh and includes fellow PSI SME Dr. Fran Greene and team members Larry Carr and Jeffrey Sventek — plus four senior military personnel and an administrative assistant.
