Aircrew System Development

Abstract

AIRCREW SYSTEMS: Laser Eye Protection (LEP), Enhanced Visual Acuity (EVA), and Aircrew Systems (AS). Under the above projects, LEP provides eye protection solutions that will provide Fixed, Rotary Wing and Patrol pilots and aircrew with multiple wavelength fixed threat and hazard protection during day and night unaided and Night Vision Goggle aided missions. LEP will consist of a suite of products to include spectacles, googles and visors. The LEP (visor, spectacle or goggle format) is being developed for compatibility with all required USN/USMC Aviation Life Support Equipement as well as cockpit displays, night vision and fire control systems. EVA provides a digital night vision capability to address critical capability gaps in low and no light illumination levels (night vision). Future increments will provide enhanced visibility in degraded visual environment. Aircrew Systems includes State of the Art (SOA) and Survival Systems which provides for the yearly evaluation of the survival, clothing and other aircrew systems that provide upgraded performance, fill capability gaps, improve aircrew endurance and performance, safety and enhance survivability. AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS: Aircraft Systems include studies for Advanced Crash Protection, SOA, Survival Systems and Electronic Knee Board (EKB). EKB provides digital display that will allow aircrew to store, search, and view significant amounts of data required for mission accomplishment during flight operations. SOA provides for the yearly evaluation of the survival systems that provide upgraded performance, fill capability gaps, improve performance, safety and enhance survivability.
