Contributive Research in Aviation Medicine, Bioengineering, Human Performance Analytic and Modeling Systems.

摘要

The U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL) at Fort Rucker, Alabama, is tasked with a broad range of applied research and engineering programs designed to answer biomedical questions dealing with aviator and soldier performance issues in an operational environment. In carrying out its mission, the Laboratory encounters unique and complex research requirements that demand maximum flexibility in its response capability. In order to achieve such flexibility, UES, Inc. was contracted to provide engineering and scientific research support in the areas of aviation medicine; biological and human factors engineering; crash modeling and research on airbags, restraint systems and head supported weight; aeromedical equipment air worthiness evaluations; research on flat panel and advanced cockpit displays, evaluations of developmental optical systems, and visual performance with military displays; and biochemical support of research in pharmaceutical intervention in army air crew. This report provides a brief summary of the extensive work performed by UES engineers and scientists during this task order contract. This report covers work completed during a seven year, five month research effort.
