Human Effectiveness Applied Research

Abstract

This program conducts applied research in the area of airmen training, airmen system interfaces, bioeffects, and understanding and shaping adversarial behavior. The Learning and Operational Readiness project conducts research to increase the agility of training for readiness while advancing learning and performance assessment science and practice. The Human Dynamics Evaluation project conducts research to discover, demonstrate, and transition capabilities which optimize and safe-guard Airman physical and cognitive performance allowing for the maximum potential of the multi-domain Airman. The Sensory Evaluation and Decision Science project conducts research to discover, demonstrate, and transition communication enhancements, and decision analytics to generate maximally effective warfighting teams resulting from the integration of Airmen and increasingly intelligent machines. The Bioeffects project conducts novel and operational exposure bioeffects research, exposure effects analysis and national/international exposure standards for the Air Force to enable, sustain, and enhance Airman performance and protection during deployment and application of advanced chemicals/materiel in air superiority platforms and warfighting directed energy systems. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver science & technology capabilities. The use of program funds in this PE would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program elements 0601102F, 0602102F, 0602201F, 0602203F, 0602204F, 0602602F, 0602605F, 0602788F, 1206601SF, and 0602298F. This program is in Budget Activity 2, Applied Research because this budget activity includes studies, investigations, and non-system specific technology efforts directed toward general military needs with a view toward developing and evaluating the feasibility and practicality of proposed solutions and determining their parameters.

• Change Summary Explanation: Decrease in FY 2019 in Other Adjustments of $6.981 million is due to realignment of funds to PE 0602212F to support Research and Development Projects, 10 U.S.C. Section 2363, an amendment to PL 110-417, 10 U.S.C. Section 2358 and 10 U.S.C. 2805(d)(1)(B). Decrease in FY 2021 is due to the realignment and consolidation of the Future AF Capabilities Applied Research efforts/activities to PE 0602020F, Future AF Capabilities Applied Research, Project 620200, Enterprise Transformational Applied Research, to better align with the Air Force S&T Strategy SECAF April 2019 and provide Congress with increased transparency on transformational Air Force S&T activities.
