A Pilot Field Trial to Collect Human Performance Data at Sea.

Abstract

Current and future warships are highly automated and require crews to make accurate and consistent judgments under time pressure. Motion sickness is a constant threat to the operational effectiveness of naval vessels. Therefore, Canada has a strong interest in the design and construction of warships which can operate under various - and sometimes extreme - sea states, without a high level of motion sickness. Ship design has developed to the point where ship motion can be predicted in advance. Understanding of human response to ship motion has not advanced.
