Özet:

Ergonomics is an interdisciplinary science that investigates the relationship between human, machine and environment by evaluating the anatomy, anthropometric dimensions, physical capacities and tolerances of people and examining the factors in the work environment. Ergonomics began to gain importance in the 1950s as a result of the industrial revolution and turned to the military field as a result of the wars. The importance of ergonomics has gradually increased with the developing and changing conditions over time. In the design of military systems, many factors created by anthropometric measurements and physiological, psychological and environmental data have been examined and started to be used in military applications. Solutions that reduce environmental factors such as vibration, lighting, temperature, noise and toxic gases play an important role in military systems designs. All military equipment, from vehicles such as warships, helicopters, airplanes and submarines, which make it mandatory for a large number of personnel to live in the same place, to small parts such as a gun handle used by a soldier, is a field of examination in terms of ergonomics and requires the development of special solutions. In order to work efficiently for the personnel, the required area should be designed according to anthropometric measurements, and with these ergonomic developments, it is aimed to increase the success rate of the operations by increasing the combat effectiveness of the armies and personnel. In order to achieve these goals for designers, it is seen that many studies have been carried out by researchers in the literature. In this study, military ergonomics studies were investigated and a literature review was made. The aim is to present the literature in summary form for researchers who will examine the ergonomics studies in the military fields, identify the problem areas and make new studies in this field, and guide the researchers in future academic studies.
