The Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) serves as the U.S. Army's principal organization for conducting research in the Human Sciences, focusing on future technologies to enhance Soldier performance and Soldier-system interactions. The HRED develops and conducts a broad Science and Technology (S&T) basic and applied research portfolio, and serves as the execution agent for Army Human Systems Integration (Army HSI), which assesses and addresses critical human performance issues for systems throughout the Army's acquisition process.
Programs and projects within the HRED S&T portfolio are aligned with the Army's priorities and focus on high risk, high payoff efforts that will deliver next generation capabilities to the future Soldier. Research is conducted on human performance in complex environments, emphasizing innovative approaches to the design of novel real-world interactions between Soldiers and advanced technologies for effective human-agent teaming in dynamic, heterogeneous, multi-agent teams with physical and virtual agents. Approaches address critical issues including but not limited to: multi-modal, bi-directional interfaces, joint human-agent decision making, predictive models of human behavior, and multi-agent control and coordination in mutually adaptive systems.
Summer Student Experience opportunities exist across the HRED S&T portfolio, with a Soldier-centric focus across multiple scientific disciplines, including the psychological and social sciences, neuroscience and cognitive sciences, and human factors and ergonomics, as well as relevant engineering disciplines and applied statistics and mathematics.
