ABSTRACT
Automated systems are designed more and more frequently into weapons systems. Automated systems require this same careful identification and definition of requirements. There are automated systems embedded in the C2 systems that take in information from distributed, remotely located automated systems. It is feasible to model the automated system and to allocate functions to the automation software, the hardware, and to the human user. In the E/A-18G programme, the outcome of the human system integration HSI approach has affected the development of this highly complex automated system. The primary tools for successful integration of human requirements into systems acquisition and engineering include models, use cases, and requirements management. Transformation through technological advances allows many weapons systems to be networked. Requirements for weapons systems are easily documented for hardware and software but the determination and application of requirements for users is more challenging.
