A system to assist an occupant of an aircraft during cockpit operation under high accelerations, wherein the system includes an exoskeleton arm including a plurality of joints, actuators, and bearing surfaces to support an arm of the occupant, an inertial measuring unit configured to detect kinematic data of the aircraft and transmit the kinematic data, a computing unit configured to receive the kinematic data transmitted from the inertial measuring unit, to determine an acceleration at the occupant's seat from the kinematic data, and to control the actuators of the exoskeleton arm to generate a counterforce directed against the acceleration at the occupant's seat in an amount that compensates for inertial forces of the occupant's arm due to the acceleration at the occupant's seat.
