An expert system for generation of anti- G control schedule for jet fighter pilots

The high maneuverability of modern jet fighters often subjects the pilots to high G z acceleration. One of the adverse effects of G z acceleration is the G-induced loss of consciousness. The current protection scheme includes a pressure mask that supplies the pilots with nominal positive pressure breathing and a nominal pressurized G-suit. This paper presents a novel approach based on a combination of expert knowledge, pilots' anthropometric and physiologic data to generate control schedules of the G-suit and mask pressures of jet fighter pilots.
