Ensure, in coordination with ODCSPER and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory-Human Research and Engineer- ing Directorate (ARL–HRED), the resolution of MANPRINT issues and concerns during the acquisition program life cycle. h. When appropriate, charter MANPRINT WIPTs.
In cases where a MANPRINT WIPT is not necessary, ensure MANPRINT is represented on another appropriate IPT. i. Exercise managerial control over the MANPRINT effort. Require a SMMP or another management and tracking mechanism, which includes the CDEs, as a MANPRINT/HSI strategy. j. Use the field element designated by ARL–HRED as the focal point to coordinate the MANPRINT Program and the efforts of the other MANPRINT domains. k. Ensure that MANPRINT performance parameters, objectives, and thresholds have been crosswalked from the ORD to the RFP and TEMP. l .
