Human Effectiveness Adv Tech Dev

Abstract

This program develops and demonstrates technologies to enhance human performance and effectiveness in the aerospace force. State-of-the-science advances are made in warfighter training, warfighter system interfaces, directed energy bioeffects, deployment and sustainment of warfighters in extreme environments, and understanding and shaping adversarial behavior. The Mission Effective Performance project develops, demonstrates, and transitions advanced training, simulation, mission rehearsal, and other performance-aiding methods and technologies to enhance warfighter readiness. The Warfighter Interfaces project develops, demonstrates, and transitions technologies to revolutionize the way human operators synergistically use Air Force systems, including autonomous machines and adaptive teams of humans and machines. The Directed Energy Bioeffects Parameters project develops, demonstrates, and transitions technologies to predict, evaluate, and mitigate the effects of directed energy on personnel and mission performance, and exploits the offensive capabilities of directed energy systems. The Performance Enhancement Demonstration project develops, demonstrates, and transitions technologies to increase survivability and performance of personnel during military operations. The Human Dynamics and Terrain Demonstration project develops, demonstrates, and transitions technologies to anticipate and influence adversarial behavior within the air, space, and cyber domains. Efforts in this program have been coordinated through the Reliance 21 process to harmonize efforts and eliminate duplication. 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.
