AEOLUS Human Performance Innovation
AEOLUS Human Performance Innovation
Overview
In Soesterberg-NL a unique ecosystem is found that enables state-of-the-art research and innovation on human performance under extreme conditions in (military) aerospace. It combines world-class facilities, an experienced group of multidisciplinary experts, a clear scientific yet also practical vision on Human Performance, a substantial number of active research programs and a network of industry, R&D and end-user organizations (Air Forces).
The innovation services provided to industry and SMEs include carrying out shares research programmes in consortia, and supporting product development of industry by applying knowledge and offering facilities as test & development environments, providing end-user feedback to industry
The purpose of Aeolus is to improve human performance under extreme (a-typical) physical conditions. Human performance is scoped as the performance of humans as such as well as the performance of humans in interaction with their environment (e.g. fighter, helicopter, helmet). Aeolus… A unique combination of facilities (equipment) is present in Soesterberg (NL), ranging from a human centrifuge, two hypobaric chambers, Night Vision experiment & training environments, the world-unique 6-dof disorientation simulator DESDEMONA, an advanced spatial disorientation simulator ASD, the Collaborative Training & CD&E Test centre, two climatic chambers, a 3D rotation chair, a low-cost flight simulation environment, a Wearable Technology lab, and an instrumented audio hall. A dunker pool facility is located on 1 hour drive, and is anticipated to be located in Soesterberg in the near future.
. Aeolus programs are based on scientific and applied research and take everything a human operator needs for optimum performance in real and virtual environments as the starting point. It strives to take human factors research to the next level.
Aeolus supports development and supply of innovative training environments, prototyping of new products, design, development and testing of pilot flight equipment for example. Aeolus focuses on
1. Wearable Technology & Systems
2. Operation Oriented Simulation
3. (Sub) Orbital Space
Aeolus campus is adjacent to both founding institutes and provides access to unique research facilities and world class scientists.
