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, goggles and visors. The LEP (visor, spectacle or goggle format) is being developed for compatibility with all required USN/USMC Aviation Life Support Equipment as well as cockpit displays, night vision and fire control systems. EVA provides advanced day/night vision/Head Up Display (HUD) capability to address critical capability gaps in low and no light illumination levels (night vision). EVA will be integrated on current aircraft through a common interface allowing incremental, modular approach to fielding full capability and future upgrades. Future increments will provide enhanced aircrew situational awareness 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 evaluate performance, fill capability gaps, develop aircrew endurance and performance, safety and enhance survivability. AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS: Aircraft Systems include studies for Advanced Crash Protection, SOA, and Survival Systems. SOA provides for the yearly evaluation of the survival systems that evaluate performance, develop endurance, fill capability gaps for safety and enhanced survivability.
