Investigation of the Role of the Human Factor Using Advanced Diagnostic and Information Technology Tools with Special Emphasis on Biomedical Monitoring from the Perspective of Flight Safety

– különös tekintettel az orvosbiológiai monitorozás területére a repülésbiztonság aspektusából

Abstract

With its long-standing steady growth rate, air transport has become a dominant sector within the transport industries. In addition, airspace has become a major economic resource, whereas until now it was almost exclusively occupied by conventional (piloted) aviation. This is already placing a considerable burden on the professionals working in the field, especially the aircrew. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to have relevant information on the physiological status of pilots and to ensure the technical and aero-medical conditions for monitoring them. Medical recognition of risks and recommendations for their management are very important factors in maintaining overall aviation safety. Research in this area is therefore a priority from both a safety and a technical point of view. The introduction of new technology and testing methods and their application requires further detailed research, backed up by scientific results. These changes present many challenges, but also many opportunities, the mapping and scientific study of which is in the interests of military and national defence, as they can contribute greatly to the achievement of the objectives set by the Defence Forces and, through them, to the information dominance and leadership required in peacetime and beyond.
