Technical Requirements

The Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) Human Effectiveness Directorate (RH) is a key component of the 711th Human Performance Wing (711HPW). The directorate is composed of a diverse group of scientists and engineers studying developing technologies specific to the human element of warfighting capability. AFRL/RH is leading the United States Air Force (USAF) in its human-centered research, and integrating biological and cognitive technologies to optimize and protect the Airman's capabilities to Fly, Fight, and Win in Air, Space, and Cyberspace.

The Human Effectiveness Directorate (RH) is the heart of Airman-centered science and technology for the USAF. RH is focused on enduring challenges to enable, sustain, and enhance multi-domain capable Airman and Airman-machine operations. RH leverages five primary Technical Competencies to deliver technology options for future USAF capabilities: Training, Adaptive Warfighter Interfaces, Bioeffects, Bioengineering and Warfighter Medical Optimization.
RH develops Airman-related technology for systems crucial to continued aerospace superiority. The Directorate works to transfer the same or similar technology to civilian applications when appropriate. RH is organized into three divisions located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio and Joint Base San Antonio, Texas.
• Airman Biosciences (RHB): Discover, demonstrate, and transition knowledge products and technology solutions from the full spectrum of bioscience, biotechnology and aerospace medicine, to enable, enhance, sustain, and restore the health and performance of the multidomain Airman. • Bioeffects (RHD): Protects against and exploits the bioeffects of battlefield environmental stressors.
• Warfighter Interactions & Readiness (RHW): Enable a more informed, agile, and lethal force by delivering revolutionary capabilities that enhance preparation and mission execution across the full range of military operations.

Activities within the 711HPW are organized into research areas which are categorized based on the technology readiness level (TRL). Product lines focus on advanced technology development and identifying paths for technology transition while the CTC’s and CRA’s focus on basic research through
