The objective of the Technical Society/lndustry SubTAG (TS/I SubTAG) of the Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group (DoD HFE TAG) is to maximize and enhance the exchange of human factors engineering information among technical societies, industry groups, and the DoD human factors community.

The TS/I SubTAG addresses problems of a general or continuing nature across all HFE technologies where the background and insights of technical societies and industry groups with HFE interests can be utilized by DoD.

The TS/I SubTAG, sponsored by the DoD HFE TAG:

• Responds to needs for detailed interchange and coordination in specific HFE technical areas

• Identifies HFE problems and opportunities for government-industry cooperation in resolving them

• Identifies technical points of contact for accomplishment of cooperative efforts

• Maintains liaison with parent TS/I organizations to ensure a two-way flow of information between the DoD HFE TAG and such TS/I organizations

• Assists in developing and preparing DoD HFE TAG documents, as requested

• Supports the DOD HFE TAG consistent with the DOD HFE TAG Operating Structure and Policies.

The TS/I SubTAG encourages representative participation from technical societies and/or their committees and subgroups with professional activities related to human factors, ergonomics and/or human systems integration. Credentialed representatives can be individuals from government, academia or private industry who are active in their technical society and are willing to provide a liaison function. The DoD HFE TAG is an information/problem solving forum; marketing/soliciting will not be tolerated.

The TS/I SubTAG is composed of the representatives of these technical societies. A TS/I member of the TAG must have a formal letter from his/her technical society requesting that this person represent the society at TS/I and TAG meetings. The Chair of TS/I and the Executive Committee of the TAG must approve the request. The TAG Coordinator will keep the letter on file while it remains valid. To assure continuous representation, the TS/I encourages the appointment of one primary representative and several alternates from each society. All primary and alternate representatives are encouraged to attend TAG meetings. However, only vote is allowed per society in TS/I matters.

For more information, contact the TS/I Chairs listed below.

Government employees are encouraged to attend TS/I technical sessions to further the liaison and coordination function of the TAG.
