Human Effectiveness Applied Research

Abstract

This program conducts applied research in the area of airmen training, airmen system interfaces, directed energy bioeffects, deployment and sustainment of airmen in extreme environments, and understanding and shaping adversarial behavior. The Learning and Organizational Collaboration project conducts research to measure, accelerate, and expand the cognitive skills necessary to improve airmen training and mission performance. The Human Dynamics Evaluation project conducts research to advance information operations and intelligence operator-aiding technologies by developing and applying human-focused research to create and influence behavior signatures of existing and emerging adversaries. The Sensory Evaluation and Decision Science project conducts research to revolutionize the manner in which the human optimizes the capabilities of Air Force systems, including remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) and adaptive teams of humans and machines. The Performance Evaluation in Extreme Environments project conducts research to enhance human sensory, cognitive, and physical capabilities to increase airmen survivability and performance. The Directed Energy Bioeffects project conducts research on the effects of human exposure to electromagnetic energy (radio frequency to optical), scalable directed energy weapons, and non-lethal weapons. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Reliance 21 process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. This program is in Budget Activity 2, Applied Research, since it develops and determines the technical feasibility and military utility of evolutionary and revolutionary technologies.
