During the past decade, fourteen U.S. Air Force pilots lost their lives and aircraft to gravity induced loss of consciousness (GLOC). GLOC is not a new problem, it has been around for over 70 years. Because of the emergence of high performance aircraft such as the F-16 and F-15 and the fact that these aircraft can perform beyond the acceleration tolerance limits of the human, GLOC has become the U.S. Tactical Air Force's second most serious human factors problem, second only to spatial disorientation. To date, there exists no monitoring system in USAF aircraft to detect when a pilot has become incapacitated due to GLOC. The incorporation of high G onset training and a special centrifuge training facility will help reduce, but not eliminate, the GLOC problem. The current status is presented of a LOC detection and recovery system being developed.
