This suite includes many of the tools listed throughout this report, including ACD, SOLE-IPME, and others. SOLE IPME focuses on the simulation of human operators in their operational environments. IPME allows the user to construct component models that are tied together in a simulation environment. IPME has five component models, a measurement suite that can be used for blocked design of experiments to evaluate human performance or the effects of system changes on human performance, and a number of operator workload measurement methods. HFE Guide is a hypertext software tool that contains the contents of military standards for human factors programs and design criteria, human factors Data Item Descriptions for procurement, and guidelines on user centred test and evaluation.
Chameleon is a rapid prototyping tool used to develop new graphical user interface concepts.
The tool is operated within a user centred analysis approach to extract user requirements for new systems. It can be used in a variety of applications including interior vehicle design, workspace design, product design and prototyping, process simulation and ergonomic analysis. There are two sites in the USA that also provide links to a range of HSI tools and techniques. This is a centralized program through the DTIC in the US, with contributions from the US DoD, FAA, NASA, other government departments, NATO, academia, and private industry. Their program includes a documented human engineering program compatible with the standard systems engineering practices that result from adherence to international standards in this area.
