The Human Systems Integration Division are offices and laboratories within the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, whose function is focused within investigation to application of new scientific knowledge relevant to human centred functioning in order to benefit the objectives of the NASA space programme.The division seeks to advance human-centered design and operations of complex aerospace systems from experimentation relevant to human performance and human-automation interaction, to make improvements in the safety, efficiency and probability of success of missions.
Objectives
The strategic goals of the division are:
(i) the creation of a newly developed base of understanding concerning the elements involved primarily in human-machine system operation and interaction
"To advance our fundamental understanding of how people process information, make decisions and collaborate with human and machine systems."
(ii) the generation of solutions to aviation safety problems, and improvement in performance.
"To enhance aviation safety and performance by designing human-centered automation and interfaces, decision support tools, training, and team and organizational practices. "
(iii) to increase capabilities to further human presence in space.
"To extend human capabilities in space by advancing our knowledge of human performance during space missions and developing tools, technologies and countermeasures for safe and effective space operations."
