PATUXENT RIVER, Md. - The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) is leading the Navy’s first comprehensive study in almost six decades (1964) to update aviator size requirements, improve aircrew gear and equipment and expand access for prospective future aviators.
It's the Navy’s first aircrew study to include women and minorities.
“We are excited to launch this historic study that will improve the readiness, protection, performance, and safety for our Navy’s aviation community,” said Lori Basham, NAWCAD’s principal investigator for the study.
NAWCAD is seeking participation from more than 4,000 active-duty, enlisted and commissioned aviators, flight officers and aircrew. The research team will measure these service members across the country when they tour the Navy's most populous air bases from May 9 through December.
