Aircrew neck-trouble future solutions : state-of-the-art-report / Joanna Kriese, Philip S.E. Farrell, DRDC - Toronto Research Centre.: D68-9/18-2018E-PDF
"Chronic neck pain is endemic among Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) helicopter aircrew. The wearing of a protective helmet, in addition to Night-Vision Goggles (NVGs) and their corresponding counterweights and battery packs, has been identified as a possible casual factor. This state-of-the-art-report (SOAR) focuses on mid- and far-term technological solutions that may not be immediately implementable, and focuses on new body-borne equipment. The report begins with a description of current helmet systems worn by national air forces' aircrew, followed by brief descriptions of future helmets and helmet-mounted technologies that have the potential to lighten or support future helmet systems as well as other technological mitigating solutions. We conclude that while helmets and helmet-mounted technologies have been identified they may not be technologically mature enough, operationally implementable, or fiscally feasible to pursue at the moment"--Abstract, p. i.
