Sponsored by SUSNFS, ASHFA, IAMFSP
Abstract: Emerging Human Systems Integration (HSI) developments in DoD and USN utilizing Commander Naval Air Forces (CNAF) top 10 Aeromedical issues presented to the Naval Aviation Requirements Group (NARG). This panel addresses ongoing and planned research initiatives at ONR, NAMRU-Dayton and their alignment with CNAF priorities. Research Initiatives Include:
– Development and validation of simulation-based training technologies to reduce spatial disorientation-related mishaps
– Research on in-flight physiologic sensing technologies to rapidly detect hypoxia and related oxygen system threats
– Research into lingering post-event effects of hypoxia exposure
– Pilot and Aircrew fatigue prediction, assessment and countermeasures research
– Personal selection research focused on UAV operators

FOUO Aeromedical Significance
Good news Downward Overall Trend
– Plenty of room for improvement
Bad news
– Still lose too many lives in DoD aviation mishaps
• 70-90% of mishaps are human errors
– Cost 513 Million Dollars FY 2006 (USN only)
– 10-12 Billon Accident and Injury

The Hypoxia Alert and Mitigation System Product is a hardware/software system
that……provides non-platform-specific hypoxia monitoring, alert and
mitigation capabilities…
…for tactical, rotary wing and ground expeditionary forces.
…based on individual susceptibility to hypoxia…
Prevention of hypoxic episodes reduces aircraft and mounted/dismounted mishaps that cause injury and death
