WARFIGHTER READINESS RESEARCH DIVISION (RHA) leads the Air Force in research that advances learning and performance readiness science and technology. Our S&Ts create and validate methods, models, and technologies for learning and persistent readiness across the range of military operations and domains. The division emphasizes research in the appropriate blending of live, virtual, constructive (LVC) technologies, as well as in performance measurement and assessment, cognitive science, and computational and mathematical modeling. The Division's research creates realistic, affordable, and secure training environments that allow for persistent and increasingly personalized training to maximize the mission effectiveness of our Airmen. Our branches are:
• Cognitive Models and Agents (RHAC)
• Continuous Learning (RHAS)
• Warfighter Readiness Research Operations Support (RHAO)
WARFIGHTER INTERFACE DIVISION (RHC) is at the heart of Airman effectiveness – seamlessly linking Airman functionality to the weaponry, information and environment of war. Division technologies help mitigate the ambiguities of war for aerospace forces. Our branches are:
• Battlespace Acoustics (RHCB)
• Supervisory Control & Cognition (RHCI)
• Applied Neuroscience (RHCP)
• Battlespace Visualization (RHCV)
BIOEFFECTS DIVISION (RHD) has played a key role in understanding the effects of directed energy weapons for more than 50 years, starting with atomic bomb eye protection. Our mission is to protect against and exploit the bioeffects of battlefield environmental stressors. Specific objectives of the division include preventing mission degradation due to toxic exposure and enabling our forces to function safely, effectively, and efficiently on the directed energy battlefield. Our branches are:
• Molecular Bioeffects (RHDJ)
• Optical Radiation Bioeffects (RHDO)
• Radio Frequency Bioeffects (RHDR)
• Mission Support (RHDM)
• Veterinary Services (RHDV)
HUMAN-CENTERED INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, AND RECONNAISSANCE (RHX) division conducts research to optimize and aid Airmen accomplishing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions, discovers new performance assessment methods, and explores how to improve future Airman-machine teams. Efforts include the development, integration, and evaluation of Airman-centric technology to realize cognitive systems engineering solutions to address Airman data overload, work integration, and improved mission performance. The division develops and applies science and technology to detect and exploit a variety of human-centered signatures, including behavioral and anthropometric aspects of existing and emerging adversaries as well as nano, bio, and molecular signatures of Airman performance. Advanced human language technologies will benefit military linguists, and insights into trust factors will influence Airman interaction with autonomous systems in future weapon systems. Our branches are:
• Human Signatures (RHXB)
• Human Analyst Augmentation (RHXM)
• Human Trust & Interaction (RHXS)
