According to SAE6906, Force Protection and Survivability (FPS) is the HSI domain that facilitates system operation and personnel safety during and after exposure to hostile situations or environments. Force protection refers to all preventive measures taken to mitigate hostile actions against Department of Defense and DHS (e.g., United States Coast Guard, Customs and Border Patrol, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, etc.) personnel. Survivability denotes the capability of the system and/or personnel manning the system to avoid or withstand manmade hostile environments without suffering an abortive impairment of his/her ability to accomplish its designated mission. Damage due to enemy or fratricidal action, or even equipment failure, will endanger the warfighters' well-being and place them into a life-threatening situation.
Rationale
The purpose of this standard is to define for industry the standard practice required for procurement activities with regard to Force Protection and Survivability analysis and related activities. This standard has been written to address a need within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), but its applicability is not limited to the DoD.
In concert with and in support of systems engineering, the Human Systems Integration (HSI) Committee focuses on processes, tools, requirements, and guidelines to ensure satisfactory human-system integration. Committee scope includes Human Factors Engineering (HFE); Manpower, Personnel and Training (MPT); Safety and Occupational Health (SOH); Force Protection and Survivability (FPS) and Habitability. The primary focus areas of the SAE G-45 HSI committee are: defining, assessing and optimizing human-system interfaces; maximizing human and human-system performance and; minimizing personnel-driven customer ownership costs. Human modeling and design for ease of maintenance are included within the G-45 scope.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
