Performance Evaluation in Extreme Environments

Abstract

This project conducts applied research to enhance human sensory, cognitive, and physical capabilities to increase airmen survivability and performance. The research is focused in four areas: biobehavioral performance; biomechanics; applied biotechnology; and counterproliferation. Both biobehavioral and biomechanics focus areas enhance airmen performance and survivability through dynamic human modeling techniques that define the capabilities and limits of system operators under military-unique stressors, as well as assessing and identifying adversarial threats. Applied biotechnology advances bioscience, nanotoxicology, and neuroscience research to protect airmen from the effects of toxic chemicals and materials, and to monitor and enhance cognitive and physiological performance. Counterproliferation research focuses on biotechnology for the detection, identification, monitoring, and neutralization of biological threat agents.
