Aptima, Inc. is a leading human-centered research and development company, integrating social science and engineering to produce new knowledge and new technologies that ensure mission success.
1) Aptima analyzes complex systems to support the design of technologies, work processes, and organizations. We conduct these analyses using a variety of knowledge elicitation, modeling, and simulation techniques.
2) Aptima optimizes the design of warfighting teams and organizations, including the definition of optimal crew size, roles, and responsibilities for human crew members in completing missions. Aptima has developed and applied the Modeling Organization Systems and Technology (MOST), to define optimal organizations for command and control systems, including the AWACS, FCS, and, in partnership with Lockheed Martin, DD-21.
3) Aptima designs user interfaces for integrated software components. Aptima has pioneered the application of Cognitive Work Analysis and Ecological Interface Design for workstation and "multifunction display" design in complex systems, including an effort with Lockheed Martin''s ATL for conceptual interfaces to control unmanned vehicle systems within ICARUS.
4) Aptima evaluates human-systems usability and utility using measurement technologies and usability techniques. Aptima''s measurement technology includes tools for rapidly defining measures of human performance, and integrating performance measures and assessments from simulation systems, expert observers, and other technologies.
5) Aptima develops training requirements, content, and technology. Aptima applies a unique approach for identifying critical competencies for effective warfighting and uses them to develop crew training requirements, content, technologies, and measures of crew member performance.
