Interim Recommendations for Cognitive Enhancers for FVL Operators and Aircrew: A Summary Report

Abstract

The U.S. Army's rotary-wing aircraft modernization effort, Future Vertical Lift (FVL), promises aircraft that exceed the performance parameters of the current fleet with respect to faster speeds, increased maneuverability and precision, and capacity to facilitate longer duration missions. These changes to the aircrafts design and capabilities will also translate into changes to the cognitive demands placed on aircrew. In order to promote mission success, evaluation of potential tools and techniques for cognitive enhancement and ultimately functional performance of operational tasks is needed. In this report, we summarize research findings and provide discussion of recommendations for the potential use of cognitive enhancers for FVL operators and aircrew.
