The requirement for aviators to operate under stressful circumstances raises concerns over both safety and effectiveness. Although appropriate countermeasures for stress induced performance deteriorations are available, the implementation of these countermeasures require that commanders know the time course and extent of the problem. For this reason, the U.S. Army has focused research on the practical assessment of helicopter pilot degradation using flight performance assessments which combine enhanced automation and objectivity with optimized data analysis procedures. Recently, the sensitivity, accuracy, and consistency of these assessment systems were demonstrated while studying the effects of atropine sulfate on aviator performance. Both simulator and helicopter systems detected atropine related performance problems across a variety of aircraft control parameters. Also, analysis of combined simulator and helicopter data showed remarkable consistency of effects across the two flight platforms. This verification of performance measurement using computerized schemes in both simulator and aircraft has substantiated a feasible methodology, and has helped the concept development of better assessment devices.
