Environmental Health and Protection
Abstract
This effort involves applied research addressing the physiological (human physical and biochemical functions) mechanisms of exposure to extreme heat, cold, altitude, and other environmental stressors. This effort establishes scientific evidence for specific and sensitive diagnostics of exertional heat illness to optimize Soldier performance in austere environments. This effort also supports and maturates non-invasive technologies, decision-aid tools, and models to enhance Soldier protection and sustainment across the operational spectrum. This effort provides the scientific basis for developing focused heating and cooling solutions to maintain fine motor dexterity, core temperature, and optimize physical and cognitive performance during cold-weather and hot-humid operations. This effort will develop knowledge and materiel solutions that enable Soldier individualized metabolic assessments and optimization during training and operations.
