Telewarfare and Military Medicine: White Paper/State of the Art Report On AFMS Support to the Emerging Paradigm of Employed-in-Place Operations.

摘要

Telewarfare: the use of unmanned vehicles, ships, aircraft, weapons, or other devices that are remotely controlled, often at great distances from the battlefield or other locations, in direct support of military operations by providing real-time intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and attack capabilities. The focus is a study of human roles and risks inherent in telewarfare from an occupational medicine standpoint, and proposes a strategy to anticipate and mitigate risks known or believed to exist among telewarriors. This paper specifically focuses on Airmen most likely to be engaged in telewarfare. Those Airmen include unmanned Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) operators, sensor operators and analysts in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) activities, and includes Total Force constituents.
