Assessing the Performance Impact of G-Forces: Design of the AccelerationPerformance Assessment Simulation System(A-PASS)

摘要

A performance assessment system for use on a man-rated centrifuge is discussed.The problem of measuring human performance during high G flight simulation is addressed. This research addressed the fundamental problem of using laboratory data to assess the operational military impact (OMI) of physiological stresses. First, a battery of flight task simulations was conceptualized, based on current performance assessment theory. Second, a procedure was demonstrated for converting laboratory measures from this battery into measures of OMI. Specifically, performance data were entered into high-fidelity computer models of aircraft missions, yielding estimates of the military impact of stressors on
