Abstract:
Through the cooperation of AFRL's Biomechanics Branch and Air Crew Performance and Protection Branch, a new web database application, the AFRL Air Crew Performance and Protection (Altitude) Data Bank, has been developed. The Altitude Data Bank consists of the altitude decompression sickness (DCS) research database, the DCS bibliographic database, and the Altitude Decompression Sickness Risk Assessment Computer (ADRAC) model. It represents over 17 years of AFRL research and experiments in high altitude decompression sickness areas. This developmental work brings web-based multi-parameter search and multi-database access capabilities to the DCS research data. The ADRAC web toolkit is based on the combined Bubble Growth model and statistical model of hypobaric chamber simulations. It offers a quick and readily accessible online DCS risk assessment tool for flight mission planners, operators, pilots, and commanders.
