Army Hardman: Its Origin, Evaluation, Implementation to Date

The HARDMAN Comparability Methodology was developed by the Navy to estimate human resource requirements during the early phases of weapon system development. The Army has modified the system to support its own needs in this area. Four real system applications in the Army and an evaluation by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory indicated that it is useful, useable, and reasonably credible, and provides a near-term solution to the Army s needs. An Army Guide is under development.
