SAE CHOSEN BY DOD TO DEVELOP HUMAN SYSTEMS INTEGRATION STANDARD
In February, SAE International was selected by the Department of
Defense (DoD) Human Systems Integration (HSI) Working Group
to develop a human systems integration standard that meets DoD
requirements. The standard will be developed by the SAE G-45 Human
Systems Integration Committee.
In making the selection, the DoD working group noted that it was
impressed that SAE is recognized by industry and government as a
national leader in the development, integration, and alignment of HSI
standards and Data Item Descriptions (DIDs).
When asked about the desired scope and impact of the standard, the
Department of the Navy said the following:
"The scale of use of the standard is DoD and to broader industry as
well. The primary customer is DoD and we expect this standard to be
levied on all types and levels of acquisitions. While this will not be a
mandatory standard, we are positioning this to be the new best practice
for HSI programmatic and process requirements on contracts. It's hard
to estimate how many contracts and companies will see this. It comes
down to our HSI community (on the govt side) using this as the adopted
best practice. The MIL-HDBK will help socialize this practice as well. And
as they take hold, the major DoD primes and the many various subs will
likely see this in use. The first year will see dozens of uses, but later years
could rise significantly."
The SAE G-45 committee held their first meeting on May 17 at the
Lockheed Martin Washington Operations Global Vision Center. The
next meeting will be held on September 21, 2016 in Washington, DC.

SAE Named to List of Organizations
Invited to Attend ICAO MEETING
SAE International joins 45 other nongovernmental organizations on the list. The
designation enables SAE International to attend
suitable International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) meetings as an observer.
"The recognition of SAE International as an
ICAO international organization is a tremendous
honor," said David L. Schutt, PhD, Chief
Executive Officer of SAE International. "We
look forward to continued collaborations with
ICAO to address areas of mutual concern to the
global aviation sector."
As a United Nations specialized agency,
ICAO was established in 1944 to manage the
administration and governance of the Convention
on International Civil Aviation (Chicago
Convention). ICAO works with the Convention's
191 Member States and industry groups to
reach consensus on international civil aviation
Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs)
and policies in support of a safe, efficient, secure,
economically sustainable and environmentally
responsible civil aviation sector.

SAE INTERNATIONAL

THE STANDARD FOR AEROSPACE INNOVATION
SAE International has been facilitating the development of global standards for the
aerospace industry since 1916. With its introduction of the first interchangeable
spark plug standard for increased WWI aircraft production, it has worked with
industry, government, and regulatory agencies throughout the world to create
an extensive family of international standards that form the technical basis of
regulations and government requirements essential for aircraft certification,
airworthiness, and interoperability.
This rich history-and its globally adopted Aerospace Standards (AS), Aerospace
Material Specifications (AMS), Aerospace Industry Reports (AIR), and Aerospace
Recommended Practices (ARP)-have helped SAE earn the reputation of being the
world's largest, most respected aerospace standards development organization.
While consensus-based standards are the foundation of SAE's standards
development capabilities, it offers an array of supporting programs to serve
industry's growing need for future harmonized solutions. And, SAE offers a full
suite of knowledge resources - including lifelong engineering education, technical
publishing, and events - that work to ensure the pipeline of future engineering talent
and keep today's practitioners at the forefront of professional growth.
