Abstract
Cognitive Engineering methods were developed to enable human factors practitioners to
understand and systematically support the cognitive work of people working “at the sharp end of
the spear.” Military members for whom DoD acquisition organizations develop systems are the
quintessential “sharp end of the spear.” This panel is proposed to share present-day experience
from military and industry reflecting how pervasively Cognitive Engineering is contributing to
research and development for the highly complex military systems being operated under
conditions of stress, time pressure, and uncertainty today. The implications for human factors
practitioners will be highlighted, both in terms of practices to continue and areas for
improvement.
