Human Systems
Integration
The Human System Integration (HSI) Roadmap reflects an Executive View of the changes in the workforce
and work environment, and provides an outline of the major HSI impacts, supporting activities, assumptions,
and decisions and milestones required to achieve the intended NextGen human-in-the-loop performance
objectives and capabilities of the future National Airspace System (NAS) Enterprise Architecture (EA).

Human Systems Integration Roadmap: Assumptions
Identifier Description
HSI-01 The HSI Roadmap relates to the NextGen changes in roles and responsibilities (and therefore procedures), but
also includes human-system performance and productivity, safety (human reliability), information requirements
and information display, personnel selection, training, and staffing impacts.
HSI-02 Human Factors analysis, design, development, and testing are to be accomplished within program/project
detailed system engineering activities and not necessarily represented in the HSI Roadmap.
HSI-03 NAS infrastructure and capabilities are not constrained by limitations in personnel staffing, selection, and
training unless otherwise identified.
HSI-04 Additional HSI impacts and dependencies are to be fully analyzed as needed in terms of:
a) Convergent or divergent roles (e.g., new actors, obsolete roles)
b) Implied role changes not apparent in the OI description
c) Non-OI dependent changes to roles/functions
d) More comprehensive Far-term OI impacts on the human actors in the workforce and work environments
HSI-05 “Gaps” in concept of ops/concept of use (such as off-nominal scenarios) will be filled to identify and resolve
other changes in roles and responsibilities.
HSI-06 NextGen HSI Roadmap products represent information requirements, guidelines, standards, design
requirements, specifications, methods, and tools for incorporating human factors in NextGen NAS Enterprise
Architecture. (Other core human factors program requirements are not fully represented.)
HSI-07 Notional “Operational Improvements” devised for the purposes of constructing the Tech Ops HSI Roadmap will
be validated.
