Overview

This volume contains the proceedings of a conference held in Freiburg, West Germany, September 22-25, 1980, entitled ""Manned Systems Design, New Methods and Equipment"". The conference was sponsored by the Special Programme Panel on Human Factors of the Scientific Affairs Division of NATO, and supported by Panel VIII, AC/243, on ""Human and Biomedical Sciences"". Their sponsorship and support are gratefully acknowledged. The contributions in the book are grouped according to the main themes of the conference with special emphasis on analytical approaches, measurement of performance, and simulator design and evaluat ion. The design of manned systems covers many and highly diversified areas. Therefore, a conference under the general title of ""Manned Systems Design"" is rather ambitious in itself. However, scientists and engineers engaged in the design of manned systems very often are confronted with problems that can be solved only by having several disciplines working together. So it was felt that knowledge about newly developed methods and equipment, applicable in the design process, is of common and increasing interest for all those who are engaged in the design of manned systems, from the earliest con­ ceptual design phases until operation under real circumstances. This seems to be particularly true in view of restricted resources of manpower and energy.
