A Navy aircrewman is protected through use of an Aviation Life Support System (ALSS), the basic form of which has changed little through the years. This project examined primary life support and protection needs as a first step toward the development of an advanced ALSS to match the missions and flight regimes of future. Information covering (1) reports of emergency escape from Navy aircraft under the combat conditions of Southeast Asia, (2) reports of peacetime operational and training emergency ejections, and (3) structured interviews with aircrewmen flying the F-14 fighter aircraft was gathered. Analyses of the information indicates that requirements include (1) maintenance or enhancement of performance and sensory capabilities (vision, audition, and cognition) of critical importance for Navy missions, (2) protection against the unexpected, excessive, and sustained acceleration forces encountered in advanced aircraft, (3) provision of both fire protection and fire retardant systems and (4) use of automated systems as feasible to counter effects of periods of altered consciousness.
