This week, PEO C3T's User-Centered Design (UCD) team took part in the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Human Systems Conference at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The event -- titled "Leading Human Systems Innovation: Partnering to Maximize Warfighter Effectiveness" -- gave the UCD team an opportunity to present its three-year-long effort to gather information on how Soldiers and Marines use the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS).
The initiative has involved conducting training exercises and focus groups with units to learn what capability gaps existed with AFATDS 6.8.1.1; online surveys to gather additional information from warfighters; and, most recently, usability tests of the first software drop of AFATDS 7.0.
"Maximizing warfighter effectiveness and involving users in the design process are our primary goals," said Dr. Pam Savage-Knepshield, PM Mission Command's Fire Support C2 UCD Lead. "Not only have we partnered with warfighters but also with the Fort Sill and Fires Center of Excellence and industry."
BG James Gallivan, Chief of Staff, Army Futures Command, emphasized the importance of working directly with warfighters as #ArmyModernization continues..
"We're making the path from concept to acquisition a straight line," said Gallivan, adding that the U.S. Army is taking a close look inside the service for feedback to develop capabilities.

Gebel el-Silsila or Gebel Silsileh (Egyptian: Kheny or Khenu) is 65 km north of Aswan, where the cliffs on both sides of the Nile narrow. The name Kheny (or sometimes Khenu) means "The Place of Rowing". It was used as a quarry site from at least the 18th Dynasty to Greco-Roman times.
On the west bank are rock cut shrines for Horemheb, Seti I, Ramesses II and Merenptah. A chapel dedicated by User, vizier under Hatshepsut, is also located there.
Many of the talatats used by Akhenaten were quarried from here, and used in buildings at Luxor and Amarna. Akhenaten's sculptor Bek oversaw the opening of a stone quarry here.

This man lost his legs 17 years ago when he was run over by a train. He was very interested in John's wheelchair bike. This is the only person in a wheelchair we have seen so far in Kerala. This man makes a living by selling lottery tickets.

We believe that urban forms – in fact all habitats – are energized by its citizens and users. The contingencies of contemporary economic and political needs produce overarching frameworks and policies that produce top-down urban visions. These cannot fully match the complexity of what urban economies are all about. So far – policies have been simply pushing ahead and providing quick-fix solutions to the leakages – which in several contexts are pretty large. Instead, what our projects try to do is simply allow residents and users of neighbourhoods to have a say, propose plans, collaborate with professional and take charge of their spaces in cultural, economic and social terms. We believe that Dharavi is already developing, it doesn’t need to be redeveloped. What it needs is support systems. We have an office in Dharavi and networks deep in the communities there with whom we work on specific projects – cultural, economic, architectural and beyond.
URBZ is our portal – part online – part on the ground. It provides a set of tools for residents and users to start the process of taking charge of their neighbourhoods. The online side is an interactive website that allows users to work with a global community of supporters. It offers a way for them to showcase and upload their city/habitat/neighbourhood onto the virtual world in a manner that connects to a hyper-local scale where the smallest of information becomes a source of local control. We use all existing online technologies and make them accessible to the residents through on-the ground activities such as workshops and community related get-togethers around specific issues. We complement this process by supporting local initiatives by connecting users to each other in a manner that allow skills to be shared.
URBZ was co-founded by Geeta Mehta and us and we have a big team helping us and working with us – Cole from Chile, Nishit Mehta our ICT coordinator and Dipti and George our interns working with us now besides a whole host of partners and interns details of whom can be seen on our site.
