RECENT WORK

BAE System, Military Air and Information

Warton, UK

Date 2016 – current

The client required HF and Ergonomics support to evaluate a number of proposed HCI designs for a multi nation fighter aircraft upgrade programme.

I provide HF and Ergonomics input evaluating prototype cockpit display formats for a fighter aircraft. Assessments are carried out via discussions with the format designers and via user trials with overseas air-force pilots on purpose built test rigs/simulators.

BAE Systems, Maritime

Barrow–in-Furness, UK

Date 2015

The client required HF and Ergonomics advice supporting development and evaluation of proposed physical designs within a future Royal Navy Submarine.

I evaluated prototype designs of many compartments/areas on the submarine such as bunk areas, passageways, medical rooms, etc. using CAD mannequins and physical mock-ups. Many physical user trials, of varying size and complexity, were designed, run and reported.

The client required short term support to provide HF advice on conceptual designs for a modified HMI cockpit presentation of head up and head down symbology for an overseas customer’s military aircraft upgrade programme.

I provided HF advice on the usability of a number of prototype HMI display formats. Potential designs were assessed using VAPS, on development rigs and via discussion with UK and overseas test pilots.

Bombardier

Derby, UK

Date: 2013

The client required HF input to support development of a train cab for a UK based new concept train.

I provided HF and Ergonomics advice covering anthropometrics, secular growth, control type specification, cab layout definitions and design prototyping using CAD mannequins, foam-board and wooden mock-ups. I designed, carried out and reported on a number of physical ergonomic assessments to evaluate and fine tune the proposed designs of the new cab.
