MANPRINT is the Army's program to ensure that the "human" is fully and continuously considered as part of the total system in the development and/or acquisition of all systems and that human performance is always considered as part of "total system performance."
MANPRINT integrates and facilitates trade-offs among the MANPRINT domains but does not replace individual domain activities, responsibilities, or reporting channels. The MANPRINT domains are --
AR 602-2 and AR 700-127.
Required For: The ILS and MANPRINT processes are mutually supportive and will be integrated throughout the materiel development and acquisition efforts. The MANPRINT is a mandatory consideration for attaining the desired level of supportability. A fundamental precept of ILS is that each element will be integrated with every other element. The MANPRINT considerations must be afforded this same management approach.
When Required: Planning and accomplishment of MANPRINT objectives begins when the decision is made to meet a deficiency by improving or procuring equipment. At this point, a System MANPRINT Management Plan (SMMP) is prepared. The MANPRINT constraints and requirements are incorporated into the ICD and MNS (if applicable) and are integrated into applicable technical and management plans (e.g., AS and SS). The MANPRINT continues to be applied throughout all phases. To ensure MANPRINT is embedded in the system acquisition process, analytical tools must be applied when they can provide the greatest influence to the total system. MANPRINT assessments will be conducted prior to MDRs for each system to ensure MANPRINT has been properly applied and to identify its impacts.
