Abstract:

The aerospace environment of combat aircrew is a complex combination of stresses that threaten aircrew performance and survival. Aerospace medical and physiologic research endeavors to enhance aircrew performance and safety in that diverse aerospace stress environment. Medical standards have been established at NAVAIRDEVCEN to improve the safety and efficiency of this research and are described in this report.
