A Feasibility Assessment and Analysis of Alternatives of Wearable and Non Wearable Cockpit Biometrics Aboard Fighter Class Aircraft
Abstract
Physiological episodes (PEs)continue to be a top safety concern for aviators across the United States Navy and United States Air Force. At their worst, PEs can result in catastrophic outcomes for aviators and aircraft. The team sought to identify short- and long-term solutions utilizing commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and proprietary devices that provide both environmental and aircrew physiological measurements in real time and post-flight necessary to identify PEs. The team sought out readily available devices, along with researching Naval Air Systems Command devices in development that could potentially fulfill requirements for critical measurements necessary for accurate data analysis. AMATLAB algorithm was developed to show all suitable solutions and consisted of both COTS and non-COTS devices, which allowed for the critical measurements to be collected. The team recommends two multi-device COTS solutions for short-term implementation and a combination of COTS and six non-COTS solutions for long-term implementation.
