Work tolerance and physiological responses to thermal environment wearing protective NBC clothing

Article Abstract:

The work tolerance of individuals wearing protective nuclear, biological, chemical (NBC) garments depends on the temperature of the space between the skin and the rubber (T(sub mu)), and the ventilating system of the garment. T(sub mu) needs to be monitored and the ventilation system should be able to remove the excess heat specially in high humidity conditions. Heart rate, oxygen uptake, skin temperature, and rectal temperature changes when the T(sub mu) is 30 degrees centigrade or more. Developing a schedule of work and rest as per the work load can ensure comfort and efficiency.

Information flow between cockpit and aircrew

Article Abstract:

Human beings have limited ability to analyze fast-moving simultaneous information flows from the cockpit, and future aviation tasks should be constructed to allocate the appropriate job for human beings and machines. A mission-management mechanism should be setup to correctly weed out the processed information from the cockpit for comprehension by the pilot.

Effects of wearing aircrew protective clothing on physiological and cognitive responses under various ambient conditions

Article Abstract:

The effect of wearing protective clothing under various ambient conditions on physiological and cognitive performance is discussed. Pilots wear protective clothing during flights thus heat stress can be a significant problem for pilots because protective clothing provides extra insulation, which prevents evaporative heat loss.
