Repeated Jolt
Fort Rucker, AL
Combat crews riding aircraft and ground combat vehicles are exposed to repeated impacts and jolts due to ride motion. The upper safety limits exposure to ride forces are unknown. USAARL's manrated Multiaxis Ride simulator (MARS) is a unique permanent facility that replicates the ride motion of any Army aircraft or vehicle.
Safety Equipment
Fort Rucker, AL
Mandated by Army regulation, the triservice Aviation Life Support Equipment Retrieval Program (ALSERP) includes aviation helmets and clothing, crashworthy seating, and restraint systems. Our team of ALSERP researchers consist of physicians, engineers, aviators, and safety experts who study the performance of ALSE recovered from U.S. Government aircraft mishaps. Relating investigation findings to aircrew member injury patters, the experts propose design and operational improvements to ALSE developers and the user community.
