| Description | The content of this course is from the following report: V Kant, ‘Integrating Human-centred Design in the Indian Defence Sector’,Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Report, 23rd India Design Summit, 14 December 2023, available at https://ciidesign in/pdf/VK CII Policy paper 26 Feb 2024 pdf With the emphasis of “Atmanirbhar Bharat” and “Make in India”, the defence sector has seen growth of various private industries as well as a change in the outlook of the various Defence Public Sector Units, Defence forces and the government The previous section provided the need for and basis of HCD in defence The current section will highlight some significant challenges and barriers to engaging with HCD In all, twelve challenges that beset the Indian defence sector are provided These challenges will serve as the basis for the policy recommendations for supporting HCD to ensure usability, productivity, safety, and international competitiveness Given the need for HCD and the nature of the defence sector, this section enlists 30 policy recommendations that can create a sustainable ecosystem in India to support a human- centric future-ready defence sector While many of these recommendations seem similar, they have been differentiated to ensure shades of meaning on a particular topic These recommendations range from the formulation of HCD design teams to the inclusion of HCD at a strategic level In order to engage HCD with the defence sector successfully, there is a need to understand the sector itself along with the manner in which HCD has developed globally in the past five decades The defence sector is a complex systemic sector that involves designing technologies for people as well as supporting change in people’s capabilities through training Thus, at an abstract level, both the human and technology have to be jointly optimized As India is gearing up to become self-reliant in technologies in the defence sector, there is an urgent need to incorporate HCD principles, techniques, methodologies, and practices Indian defence forces need not only good technology but also good human-centered technology The emphasis on HCD for defence will provide this pathway In order to make HCD relevant for the Indian defence sector, there is a need to comprehend a broader understanding of HCD that incorporates design, human factors, and human systems integration |
