Future Vertical Lift Medical Advanced Technology
Abstract
This Project evaluates, validates, matures and delivers medical guidelines and strategies to assure optimal Soldier performance and protection on the future technologically-intensive battlefield. Key elements of the program include: 1) tailored medical selection and retention standards for Future Vertical Lift (FVL); 2) medical strategies to maintain and enhance human performance in Multi-domain operations (MDO); 3) human-centered technology design guidance to accommodate the range of aircrew; 4) improved protection standards to reduce FVL occupant injury; and 5) operator state monitoring tools to enable scalable autonomy in FVL aircraft. Efforts in this Project further develop work done in Program Element 0602148A (Future Vertical Lift Technology) / Project BZ7 (Future Vertical Lift Medical Technologies). Work in this Project is performed by the United States Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory (USAARL).
