The study investigated pilot performance enhancement (through application of an articulated seat concept) as related to pilot task workload in a high G combat environment. The approach taken to satisfy several study objectives was utilization of the McDonnell Douglas Corporation Pilot Simulation Model. This model depicted all of the detailed pilot functions, their interrelationships and the potential alternate or iterating loops. As a result of interfacing with Air Battle Simulation II model, air battle kinematics and dynamic sequencing enabled the definition of pilot task and task loading during combat engagements. The interaction between the models, advanced system design and integration and verification of the feasibility using simulator design aid provided a near term, advanced high acceleration crew station design.
