Advanced Diagnostics & Therapeutics Research & Development - Medical and Operational Biosciences (AF)
Abstract
This project provides applied research to define and develop medical attribute-linked solutions to better address Air Force operational readiness and mission effectiveness. This research develops approaches aimed at increasing the understanding of full spectrum factors impacting health and performance across Air Force operating environments, to include critical Air Force-supported mission areas of air and space superiority, aeromedical evacuation, communications and intelligence systems, global information operations, reconnaissance and electronic-combat aircraft. Includes research in operationally relevant Air and Space environments pertaining to Biomedical Impact of Air and Space, Biotechnology for Health and Performance, Cognitive and Physiological Performance, and Health and Performance Sensing and Assessment. This project supports needs outlined in Air Force (AF) and Air Force Medical Service (AFMS) strategic documents. Research within this project includes but is not limited to the following: understand the physical and cognitive attributes most important for human performance in air and space operations, facilitate medical readiness maintenance in air and space operations with military labor support, understand the patient validation requirements for a rocket cargo capability, determine how personal health monitoring devices may be used to support scalable medical command and control in air and space operations, develop modules for the human and weapon system which incorporates medical readiness factors into the kill-chain, develop science and technology to prevent and treat chronic health issues associated with air and space operations with minimal labor resourcing, understand value-driven medical readiness requirements for tip-of-spear operators, and investigate physio-cognitive sensor technology to inform medical readiness and human performance boundary status.
