The historical lack of aircrew physiological data has prevented its use in the definition and evaluation of airborne man-machine systems. Recognizing this deficiency, a joint Navy and Air Force program has resulted in the development of a self-contained man-borne In-Flight Physiological Data Acquisition System (IFPDAS). This system is capable of obtaining and recording up to 32 channels of physiological and engineering parameters for flight durations to four hours. A ground based microprocessor provides computer analysis of this data. At present, the Navy is establishing a methodology for the employment of the system, developing analytical software, and collecting operational flight data. Further plans for the IFPDAS include collecting and processing multi-parameter physiological and environmental data from aircrewmen to more thoroughly describe the tactical flight environment and thus support proper development of aircrew life support and weapons systems.
