Operational Roles, Aircrew Systems and Human Factors in Future High Performance Aircraft

Abstract

Any new system is no more effective than its human operators, whose sensory, muscular and cognitive capabilities it merely extends when responding to mission and environmental stress. The purpose of this meeting session was to understand the operational characteristics of the new high-performance aircraft to be shortly introduced into the NATO Forces in relationship to the operator's physiological, cognitive, psychomotor and perceptual capabilities. For the first time at an AMP meeting, pilots, engineers and aviation medicine specialists convened together to discuss relationships between man and machine in order to identify any biotechnology research deficiencies and establish appropriate selection, training and assignment criteria for future high-performance aircraft.
