DEFENCE - SEA PROJECTS


MBDA- Early Human Factors Analysis for Concept Anti-Ship Weapon

Paul is undertaking Early Human Factors Analysis for a number of Anti-Ship Naval Weapon concepts. The scope of work includes derivation of Target Audience Descriptions, writing of the HFIP and undertaking Risks, Assumptions, Issues, Dependencies and Opportunities (RAIDO) assessments. This has included baselining current operations (Harpoon and TLAM) to identify operational Learning from Experience issues.

BAE Systems- Dreadnought Submarine, Combat Systems Human Factors Lead

Lead for all HF aspects of the Dreadnought Combat System. This includes, HFI, support to design of major sub-systems (such as sensors, comms, weapons, counter-measures) and support to the Whole Boat Safety Case. Scope of work includes assessment of maintainability, alarm management, HCI design and design of the Weapon Handling and Launch System.

Paul Traub Associates has worked with the Defence Human Capability Science & Technology Centre on a number of projects, including the following:


Review of Submarine Safety Operations

Support to research into assessment of Submarine Nuclear Power Plant Operations and a review of best practice from civil power plants. The scope of work included examination of manning levels, training scenarios and training facilities to assist in deriving requirements for a future attack class submarine. This work was undertaken as part of a team with a major UK Defence Contractor.

Team Collective Training Methodology Assessment

In partnership with two other SMEs, an in depth review of a Team Collective Training model. This included desktop and trials of the model on a surface ship application. This was undertaken so as to develop a validated approach to the specification of Team and Collective training requirements, which can be used to identify Team and Collective training requirements and solutions.

Identifying Best Practice for Personnel Lines of Development

In partnership with another SME, this work is being undertaken to generate a candidate framework to monitor and assess the implementation of the Personnel Defence Lines Of Development. An extensive review of Human Factors Integration approaches in Nuclear, Rail, Aviation and Oil and Gas has been undertaken to ascertain if best practice can be utilised from non-defence sectors.

Task Network Modelling of Ship Control

Support is being provided as part of team to a major UK Defence Research organisation to create a baseline task network model(s) for a current Submarine ship control so as to enable comparison with proposed manning and technology options.

Detailed task analysis and workload assessment including multiple operator roles is being undertaken so as to identify bottlenecks and pinch points in individual and team workload.

The objective is to assist in specifying workload reduction solutions and to identify possible areas for reduced manning.
