The Human Factors Integration Defence Technology Centre (HFI DTC) research programme, led by BAE Systems at Yeovil, focuses on the integration of Human Factors across the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Unified Customer. Our partners are from defence industrial and academic organisations including Lockheed Martin UKIS, MBDA, SEA Ltd and the Universities of Birmingham, Cranfield (Bedfordshire & Shrivenham sites) and Southampton.
