The 36th Harry G. Armstrong Lecture. The limits of human performance: a point of view.
The author describes his experience over the past 20 years in the Pentagon environment advocating greater understanding of the importance of human performance and its limits by military technologist. The human performance research community is a key player in the effort to reverse the present marginalization of the human in a technology-dominated world. The author suggests specific initiatives the community could take to strengthen this effort and reposition itself for a greater leadership role in science and technology of the 21st century.
