Fleet Challenges
• Aircrew are flying longer missions and in more extreme environments
• Aircrew are interfacing with a multitude of sensors
• Current helmets and hearing protection do not provide the level of protection
to the aircrew and maintainers to meet DoD defined noise level limits in and
around USN/USMC aircraft
• Average Aircrew personnel/gear size has increased while technology and
safety improvements have decreased available cockpit space
•
A multitude of equipment is outdated: helmets, seats, life preservers,
emergency equipment, restraint systems
We are discovering that numerous integration efforts are lacking a
systems approach with regards to human integration
The person must be considered up front in the design
of weapons systems

Technology Gaps & Desired Enhancements
Personnel Protection and Performance Sustainment:
Technology gaps:
• Hearing Conservation:
• Accurate understanding of noise levels, exposure & damage.
• Reduced-bulk technologies capable of exceeding 40 db noise attenuation with talkthrough capability for aircrew and maintainer applications.
• Affordable digitized ear canal mapping.
• Fire Retardant Textile Design:
• Affordable replacement for legacy Aramid fibers used in DoD flight clothing
applications.
Capability Gaps:

Commercial and militarized helmets have significantly advanced technology in crash
protection, hearing protection, comfort, and weight.
• Clothing that meets extreme heating & cooling requirements while enabling effective
mobility for longer missions without over-heating or dehydrating.
• Integrated approach to reduce bulk.
• Change fleet culture of hearing conservation

Aircrew Systems Takeaways
• The Aircrew Systems program office heavily relies on Industry to provide
solutions that enhance aviation warfighter effectiveness.
• Affordability is crucial to the transition of technology to programs of record.
• Due to joint nature of many commodity type programs, multi-service
coordination between S&T communities is essential.
• Miniaturization is a common theme to support Mission Endurance. Lighter,
smaller, reduced bulk = less fatiguing.
• Acquisition efforts should yield government ownership of data rights to
applied technologies whenever possible.
