Aircrew Performance Studies/Technology Projects and Minor Development Efforts
Abstract
Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's Aircrew Performance Branch is the single USAF focal point for Aircrew Flight Equipment (AFE) Safe-to-Fly (STF) testing certification, addressing Safety Investigation Board (SIB) recommendations, along with studies and analysis. In addition, funding is for efforts that are responses to real-time capability gaps identified by the warfighter which may be satisfied by testing and qualifying commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products and/or performing minor development efforts that require less than $10M per year related to aircrew flight equipment and life support equipment. Previous successful efforts may evolve into enduring capabilities as other users / MAJCOMs seek to incorporate these STF assets into their inventory. The Cold Weather Aviation System (CWAS), Aircrew Body Armor (ABA), BA-X Low Profile Parachute (LPP) and Nuclear Flash Blindness Goggles (NFBG) are currently the active programs within Life Support Systems (LSS). Funds may be used to address associated emerging aircrew/ground crew/egress requirements and for program management activities.
