Pilot Tracking Performance as a Function of G Stress and Seat Back Angle.

Abstract

The results show degraded weapon tracking at elevated G levels. Improved subject tolerance and greater kill opportunity due to seat back angle are presented at 8G and above. The data were not sufficient to allow modeling of the tracking performance as a function of seat back angle but did show a threshold effect in the 6-8G region on pilot tracking capability. (Author)
