Cockpit Monitoring of Pilot Muscle Tension, Heart Rate, and Respiration

ORC proposes to adapt our commercial Light Lace solution for use in high-G and anti-G training for Air Force pilots. Specifically, we aim to capitalize on the Light Lace measurement of muscle fatigue via fiber optic system measurement system by providing very low noise data during in centrifuge testing at the 711HPW. We aim to integrate the Light Lace system into the pilot’s flight equipment, both a pilot’s flight suit and anti-G suit, in order to aid the pilot in conserving energy exerted by straining and to only strain as hard as needed, which will lead to decreased fatigue, better physical fatigue resilience, and improved performance such as more pilots capable of 9 Gz maneuvers.
