Injury Prevention & Reduction
Abstract
This effort supports and validates injury prediction tools and return-to-duty assessments for brain, spine, and chest injury from blast, blunt, and ballistic impact. These are all priorities for Program Executive Office (PEO)-Soldier and support various Maneuver Center of Excellence programs including Soldier Protection Systems (e.g., Integrated Head Protection Systems and Vital Torso Protection Systems). This effort also addresses need for validated aeromedical standards and strategies to enable aircrew to effectively fight, navigate, and land under a range of degraded visual environments and provide aeromedical return to duty guidelines after neurosensory injury (deficits in the nervous system control of vision, hearing, taste, smell, and touch). This supports Cross Functional Team (CFT) Future Vertical Lift.
