Future Vertical Lift Medical Technologies

Abstract

This Project involves research to prevent injury and performance degradation in Aviators, Unmanned Arial System (UAS) Operators and other Warfighters in training and operations; refines risk assessment and performance models based on operational stressors, e.g., sleep deprivation, work load, fatigue; and delivers biomedical-based spinal injury criteria and assessment methodologies. This research provides medical information important to the design and operational use of future vertical lift aircraft, and when appropriate, ground vehicles. The cited work is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the United States (US) Army Futures Command.
