The Improved Performance Research Integration Tool (IMPRINT) was developed for the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED). This manual describes the professional version of IMPRINT, named IMPRINT Pro. IMPRINT Pro is government owned and consists of a set of automated aids to assist analysts in conducting human performance analyses. IMPRINT Pro provides the means for estimating manpower, personnel, and training (MPT) requirements and constraints for new weapon systems very early in the
acquisition process. By allowing the incorporation of robust task analyses and associated data into a dynamic simulation environment, IMPRINT is a comprehensive, simulation-based tool that enables analysts to quantitatively predict the impact of human systems integration (HSI) variables (manpower, personnel, training, and human factors based interface design) against total system performance.
