Norwich University issued the following announcement.
Norwich University, in partnership with Spotlight Labs, has been awarded a research grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to continue work (phase II) on the Impact of Cockpit Electro-Magnetics on Aircrew Neurology (ICEMAN) project.
The project’s second phase will focus on developing a next-generation sensor suite capable of measuring ambient electromagnetic/radio frequency conditions in a military aircraft cockpit. Experimentation goals will aim to identify any effects of the cockpit electromagnetic/radio frequency conditions that negatively affect pilot cognitive function or physiological sensor function and develop and test various mitigation strategies to protect against these effects. Researchers will also be testing the SPYDR headsets — a helmet-mounted hypoxia sensor that gathers human biometric data for measuring in-flight oxygen, heart-rate variability and other physiological variables.
