| Summary: | The Department of Defense recently mandated the incorporation
of Human Systems Integration (HSI) early in the acquisition
cycle to improve system performance and reduce ownership
cost. However, little documentation of successful examples of
HSI within the context of systems engineering exists, making
it difficult for the acquisition community to disseminate and
apply best practices. This article presents a case study of a
large Air Force project that represents a successful application
of HSI. The authors explore the influence of both the Air
Force and the project contractor. Additionally, they identify
top-level leadership support for integrating HSI into systems
engineering processes as key to HSI success, reinforcing the
importance of treating HSI as an integral part of pre-Milestone
