FOREWORD
1. This standard has been approved for use by all Departments and Agencies of the
Department of Defense.
2. This standard establishes general human engineering criteria for design and development
of military systems, equipment and facilities. Its purpose is to present human engineering design
criteria, principles and practices to be applied in the design of systems, equipment and facilities so as
to:
a. Achieve required performance by operator, control and maintenance personnel.
b. Minimize skill and personnel requirements and training time.
c. Achieve required reliability of personnel-equipment combinations.
d. Foster design standardization within and among systems.
3. This standard does not alter requirements for system development participation of human
engineering specialists to interpret and implement these practices and to provide solutions to human
engineering problems which arise and which are not specifically covered herein.
4. MIL-HDBK-759 is intended to serve as a companion document to this standard and
should be consulted for data, preferred practices, and design guidelines, including design guidelines
for variations of basic hardware configurations covered herein.
*
5. Requirements herein are expressed in the International System of units (SI). As a
convenience, the metric units are accompanied by their approximate customary system equivalents
(in parentheses). Angular measure is expressed in degrees unless it is necessary to specify fractions
of a degree where milliradians are used.
6. This revision has not expanded 5.13, Hazards and Safety, in any signficant way since the
original intent of this subsection was to limit its coverage to what was most likely to be encountered
during human engineering work and was moderately expanded only to accommodate requests by
safety and health practitioners and review activities.
7. Subsection 5.14 is intended to provide only basic criteria on user-computer interface;
therefore, this revision has not updated 5.14 other than to correct errors. Moreover, when going
beyond fundamental criteria, the need for flexibility outweighs benefits that might be gained by
expanding 5.14 that would limit software design. This flexibility is provided by handbooks and style
guides, such as the DoD Human Computer Interface Style Guide (Volume 8 of the Department of
Defense Technical Architecture Framework for Information Management or TAFIM). When a
national standard becomes available, it will be considered as a cited replacement, in whole or part,
for 5.14.
8. Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data
which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to Commander, U.S. Army
Aviation and Missile Command, ATTN: AMSAM-RD-SE-TD-ST, Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-
5000 by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426)
appearing at the end of this document or by letter.

1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This standard establishes general human engineering design criteria for military
systems, subsystems, equipment and facilities.
1.2 Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to present human engineering design criteria,
principles, and practices to achieve mission success through integration of the human into the system,
subsystem, equipment, and facility, and achieve effectiveness, simplicity, efficiency, reliability, and
safety of system operation, training, and maintenance.
1.3 Application. This standard is applicable to the design of all systems, subsystems,
equipment and facilities, except where provisions relating to aircraft design conflict with crew
system design requirements or guidelines of JSSG-2010. Nothing in this standard is to be construed
as limiting the selection of hardware, materials, or processes to the specific items described herein.
Unless otherwise stated in specific provisions, this standard applies to design of systems, subsystems,
equipment and facilities for use by both men and women. This standard is not intended to be a
criterion for limiting use of materiel already in the field in areas such as lift repetition or temperature
exposure time. Where the procuring activity establishes use by male personnel exclusively, the
paragraphs listed in Table I are changed as noted therein.

1.4 Force limits. If it is known that an item is to be used by an already established military
occupational specialty, for which physical qualification requirements for entry into that specialty are
also established, any discrepancy between the force criteria of this standard and the physical
qualification requirements will be resolved in favor of the latter. In this event, the least stringent
physical qualification requirement of all specialties which may operate, maintain, transport, supply,
move, lift or otherwise manipulate the item in the manner being considered, will be used as a
maximum design force limit. If such physical qualification requirements for entry into a specialty do
not cover the task covered herein, the criteria herein will govern.
1.5 Manufacturing tolerances. When manufacturing tolerances are not perceptible to the user,
this standard will not be construed as preventing the use of components whose dimensions are within a
normal manufacturing upper or lower limit tolerance of the dimensions specified herein.
2. APPLICABLE DOCUMENTS
2.1 General. The documents listed in this section are specified in sections 3, 4, and 5 of this
standard. This section does not include documents cited in other sections of this standard or
recommended for additional information or as examples. While every effort has been made to ensure
the completeness of this list, document users are cautioned that they must meet all specified
requirements documents cited in sections 3, 4, and 5 of this standard, whether or not they are listed.
2.2 Government documents.
2.2.1 Specifications, standards, and handbooks. The following specifications, standards, and
handbooks form a part of this document to the extent specified herein. Unless otherwise specified, the
issues of these documents are those listed in the issue of the Department of Defense Index of
Specifications and Standards (DoDISS) and supplement thereto, cited in the solicitation (see 6.2).
