Provide technical advice and assistance on the Manpower, Personnel, and Training (MPT) domains for new and improved ACAT I and II systems. b. Participate in ICTs, MANPRINT Working IPTs (WIPT), Supportability IPTs (SIPTs), Test Integration Working Groups (TIWGs) and other MANPRINT related activities to identify and provide recommendations to resolve MPT domain issues for new and improved ACAT I and II systems. c.
Analyze all requirements documents and other acquisition related documents for new and improved ACAT I and II systems to ensure the MPT domains are addressed in support of the MDR. d. Prepare the MPT Assessment for new and improved ACAT I and II systems at each MDR for the PM. Provide copies to all other MANPRINT domains and to DCSPER (DAPE–MR) as input for the MANPRINT Assessment. Provide assessment data to the MANPRINT Working IPT as input for the SMMP. A copy of the MPT Assessment will be furnished to ARL–HRED as input to the draft MA. e. Via the U.S.
Army Research Institute, provide, as required, on a reimbursable basis, subject matter expertise is areas dealing with personnel and training to PEOs and PMs for specific Army acquisition systems and/or programs. 2–24. Commanding General, U.S. Army Safety Center The Commanding General, U.S. Army Safety Center (CG, USASC) will— a. Conduct the Independent Safety Assessments (ISAs) for ACAT ID, IC, and II systems. b. Provide ODCSPER (DAPE–MR), ARL–HRED, and the MANPRINT WIPT Research, Development, and En- gineering Center (RDEC) safety domain SME a copy of the ISA provided to the Army Systems Acquisition Review Council (ASARC) Secretary for ASARC systems.
This assessment will be used by ARL–HRED as input to the draft MANPRINT Assessment. c. Make the Army automated safety information database accessible to MANPRINT practitioners. 2–25. Commanding General, U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School The Commanding General, U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School (CG, AMEDDC&S) will accomplish the following responsibilities for medical equipment: a .

T h e t e s t s w i l l a d d r e s s t o t a l s y s t e m MANPRINT requirements, including the requirements to operate, maintain, support, and train the system. b.
Analyze MANPRINT issues and measures identified from all sources (for example, ORD, ICT report/minutes, SMMP, SEMP, SSEB) as potential issues to be addressed across the full spectrum of system tests and evaluations. Provide results to DCSPER (DAPE–MR) and ARL–HRED on a routine basis. c. Provide representation to ICTs and the MANPRINT WIPTs, as appropriate. d. Encourage that MANPRINT training is provided as a minimum to personnel with system test and evaluation responsibilities, as appropriate. Chapter 3 MANPRINT in the Systems Acquisition Process 3–1. Introduction a. MANPRINT is the Army’s Human Systems Integration (HSI) strategy the PM must use for all acquisition programs.
An effective MANPRINT Program enables the PM to fulfill the requirements of DOD Regulation 5000.2–R but, more importantly, facilitates the acquisition of a system that meets “total system” performance requirements. b. MANPRINT is focused on influencing the design of systems and associated support requirements so that developmental, non-developmental, and modified systems can be operated, maintained, and supported efficiently and safely within the manpower structure, personnel aptitudes, and training constraints of the Army and within an affordable cost of ownership.
The implementation of MANPRINT impacts total system performance (both effective- ness and availability) making explicit the role that the soldier plays and how that performance is shaped by design factors. MANPRINT also addresses the MPT resources needed to achieve the required performance and, where possible, indicates more affordable configurations of MPT resources. c. The engineering design philosophy of MANPRINT is focused on optimum system performance on the battlefield, which includes up front and continuous consideration of both soldier and equipment capability. MANPRINT is a tailored, option-oriented process as opposed to an objective-oriented process.
The MANPRINT process will provide decision-makers information upon which to make trade-offs in areas such as quality and numbers of people, training, technology, conditions, standards, costs, soldier survivability, safety, health hazard risks, design and interface features, and personnel assignment policy. d. It is imperative that a total MANPRINT effort begin early in system acquisition, with emphasis on user feedback 9 AR 602–2 • 1 June 2001
