Crew Systems and Personnel Protection Technology
Abstract
This program develops and demonstrates technologies to enhance human performance and effectiveness and to enable the aerospace force. State-of-the-art advances are made to train personnel, protect and sustain warfighters, and improve human interfaces with weapon systems. The Decision Effectiveness Technology project develops and demonstrates warfighter capability enhancing technologies that promote effective decision-making, control, and mission execution in the emerging network-enabled operational environments. The Warfighter Readiness Technology project develops and demonstrates advanced training, simulation, and mission rehearsal technologies. The Bioeffects and Protection Technology project develops and demonstrates advanced technologies to provide laser eye protection, assure the safety of personnel involved with test, deployment, and operation of high-energy laser weapons, enhance capabilities for sustained operations in extreme environments, and deliver novel, tailored bio-taggant and identification/neutralization capabilities to meet specific AF special operations needs. This program is in Budget Activity 3, Advanced Technology Development, since it develops and demonstrates technologies to protect and enhance the performance of Air Force personnel in operational environments.
