The ability to destroy fleeing targets in a time critical environment is a key capability for the successful completion of the Joint Forces Commander's operations. The Time Critical Targeting Functionality (TCTF) program combines the functionality of several tools aiding in the prosecution of significant threats of fleeting vulnerability. As with any system, active user involvement and Human Factors guidance are necessary to ensure a usable design. The TCTF program applies these principles through several techniques including Applied Cognitive Work Analysis, GUI Working Groups, Heuristic Evaluations as well as user surveys. The basis for all these analyses is determining the correct information to display to the user at the correct moment. This document illustrates these techniques, provides the results and recommendations from the evaluations as well as providing lessons learned and example surveys
