Abstract
This paper summarily analyzes the two new human engineering (HE) general standards released by DoD (Department of Defense, USA) in 2011–2012. There are four parts in this paper. First part is introduction. Second part introduces the development history of MIL-STD-46855 series from 1968 to 2011 and features as well as contents of MIL-STD-46855A (2011) including preface, main body (focus on the general and detailed requirements of this standard), and appendix. Third part reveals the updates of MIL-STD-1472 series from 1989 to 2012 and composition as well as main updates of MIL-STD-1472G (2012) including scope, applicable documents, general and detailed requirements, notes, and appendix A and B. Forth part briefly compares the relationship, similarities and differences, and functions of MIL-STD-46855A (DoD Standard practice: Human engineering requirements for military systems, equipment, and facilities) and MIL-STD-1472G (DoD Design criteria standard: Human engineering).
