There are also other documents with relevant cockpit dimensions for MIL aircraft that I am familiar with.

Be cautious... especially if NOT MIL... the requirement for tandem MIL cockpits requires the GIB be elevated significantly, so they could see-forward over the GIF... resulting in a huge cross-section height... many complications.
BTW... several MIL Acft cockpit arrangements are also [somewhere] in the AFSC Design Handbooks [DHs].
NOTE.
In 1980s I [me] designed a single-seat [opt 2-seat] light attack jet... but did not fully adopt the MIL cockpit depth and visibility requirements/constraints... since that would have boosted the cross-section height way-too-much for a compact/LW attack jet. In today's deign world, the T-38 arrangement is completely unacceptable... as evidenced by the cockpit arrangement for the 'MIL-spec' T-7A Red Hawk.
The back seat 'space' was occupied by (a) light gun system... firing below belly, on centerline W/ ammo canister in the cockpit isolated from the pilot; or (b) aft cockpit for an instructor/observer [GIF/GIB in light-weight ejection seats]. The aft cockpit was a pain to get into W/O a side-opening canopy... and I was forced to go-to thru-canopy ejection. Aft cockpit area was very close to the Acft CG so that helped W/ W&B. Arrangement was very tight/compact.

Early Supplier Involvement has long been a strategy employed by manufacturers to produce innovative products. Now, it almost seems like a necessity. Because decisions made in the design phase can positively affect product quality and costs, this can help add value to OEM bottom lines. This white paper will discuss many facets of ESI, including why it’s so valuable today, what challenges limit the benefits of ESI, how cost is impacted, and more. Download Now
This white paper describes what we see as the best practices to support a sustainable engineering process for autonomous vehicle design. It exposes how to use simulation and testing in common frameworks to enable design exploration, verification and validation for the development of autonomous cars at a system, software and full-vehicle level to drive a mature product development process for automated driving.

RE: Pilot seat/cockpit dimensions.
Assist & Every spec have the MS33574 'notes' section chopped-in-half. DANG. I submitted a request to ASSIST to re-scan the spec due to this problem.
See attached [my old copy].
https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=...
NOTE. There are [4] standard cockpit dimensions, MS33573-thru-76, thus...
MS33573 [CX] DIMENSIONS, CLEARANCE, COCKPIT FIXED WING AIRCRAFT
MS33574 [CX] DIMENSIONS, BASIC, COCKPIT, STICK-CONTROLLED, FIXED WING AIRCRAFT
MS33575 [CX] DIMENSIONS, BASIC, COCKPIT, HELICOPTER [MIL-STD-1333]
MS33576 [CX] DIMENSIONS, BASIC, COCKPIT, WHEEL CONTROLLED, FIXED WING AIRCRAFT
There are also other documents with relevant cockpit dimensions for MIL aircraft that I am familiar with.

RE: Pilot seat/cockpit dimensions.
2 seat tandem stick controlled fixed wing. Trying to be as small as possible and still comfortable.
