 | The Secretary of Defense directed the military services to allow women to fly all aircraft engaged in combat missions. The current inventory of naval aircraft was designed to accommodate the general physical characteristics of the male population based on information that is over 20 years old. Anthropometric standards have been used for a number of years to certify that individuals entering naval aviation can fit into assigned aircraft. However, there ... |

| The objective of this project was to determine if the type of presbyopic correction worn by aviators, conventional bifocal versus progressive- addition lenses (PALs), differentially affects aviator visual search performance. Experienced aviators with tactical fighter aircraft experience searched for high-contrast targets under simulated dawn/dust lighting conditions while wearing either a standard bifocal (ST-25) or PAL spectacle correction. Latency of locating high-contrast targets under these viewing conditions was affected differentially by ... |

| The present study examined the effects of low-intensity laser glue, far below a level that would cause ocular damage or flashblindness, on the visually guided performance of aviators. With a forward-masking paradigm, this study showed that the time at which laser glare is experienced, relative to initial acquisition of visual information, differentially affects the speed and accuracy of target-location performance. Brief exposure (300 ms) to laser glare, terminating with a ... |

|
| The present study examined the effects of low-intensity argon-laser glare on the visual search performance of aviators. Using a modified backward- masking paradigm, subjects were exposed to laser glare, either while seated in a cockpit simulation trainer with attached F-15 windscreen assembly. Brief exposure to laser glare, either 25 or 50 ms after a visual scene's onset, produced significant decrements in target-detection performance relative to a no-glare control whereas a ... |
