ABSTRACT
Organizational ergonomics, concerned with the optimization of systems of systems, places a strong emphasis on the human factor and in this context, military organization must be prepared, in order to achieve its objectives, to implement all principles and methods. Investigation of ergonomic aspects of the man-machine systems within military organization leads to minimizing associative risks, and implicitly, to narrowing of manifestation area of crisis management in military domain. The undertaken analysis will conduct to some ergonomics criteria useful for designing the human-machine systems in the military, criteria that are important at the operational level, in order to correct some deficiencies, but especially in the phase of elaboration of several research-development solutions for special military applications.

Theoretical aspects
Specialized literature has already many means of defining usability, meet bearing the basic specialty and the specif c activity of the authors, often tempted to use their training and knowledge methodology as to study and solve ergonomie character problems, hiagreement withthetitleofthis article, it is highly relevant to stress out the claim ofFrancois Hubault within Department of Ergonomics at the Sorbonne, who stated: "Total quality comes fom two sources: management and ergonomics, and their complementarity provides dynamic control due to a supervised imbalance".
The development of studi es aiming ? treating the rol e, importance and applicability in military ergonomics is, besides the difficulty of the approach, a necessary aspect both theoretically and practically, all evaluated in the context of changes taking place in architecture (resource, organizational processes, firms of organization, etc.) ßr military organization ft is widely recognized that, in essence, the development of ergonomics as a modern discipline, is correlated with the period of the Second World War, the technical systems of combat interactions, more complex, brought to the attention of specialists and the growing level of vulnerability, negative effects of war economy, hi this context, such a sci enti f c appro ach is entirely appropriate, if we consider the following points:
- human resources and technology are key elements of the organizational capability concept, a concept already becoming findamental in assessing the performance ofmilitary organizations;
- we are witnessing an unprecedented development of equipment and technol ogies used in all areas of social life;
- regardless of...
