CONCLUSION 



To develop work systems that effectively operate in the undersea environment 

 there must be a close coupling of the definition of the tasks to be performed and an 

 understanding of the undersea environment. The vehicles, sensors, tools, and support 

 equipment must be carefully integrated to match the human operator's capabilities. 

 Optimizing one component of a system, or overly sophisticating another component to 

 meet all possible requirements, can work to the detriment of the total system, and a 

 balance in requirements, particularly including the human operator, is necessary.
