Current high-performance fighter aircraft subject pilots to acceleration forces that can adversely effect performance and induce unconsciousness during flight. The main strategies to help the fighter pilot sustain +Gz include a pressurized anti-G garment (G-suit), the anti-G straining maneuver, and centrifuge training to optimize this effective, but very fatiguing, maneuver. To improve anti-G support for aircrew, a positive-pressure breathing anti-G system (PBG) has been developed in the COMBAT EDGE program. In order to determine if any acute adverse health effects are occurring from the use of PBG, a survey of 241 (F-15 and F-16) pilots (49 using PBG and 192 using standard methods) was conducted. Questions were asked regarding acute health effects and the impact of PBG on mission accomplishment. With the exception of dry cough, no significant increases in adverse events were found, and acceptance in the F-16 was much greater than in the F-15.
当前的高性能战斗机使飞行员承受加速力，这种力会对飞行性能产生不利影响，并在飞行过程中导致意识丧失。帮助战斗机飞行员承受+Gz的主要策略包括加压抗荷服（G服）、抗荷紧张动作以及离心机训练，以优化这种有效但非常疲劳的动作。为了改善对机组人员的抗荷支持，在“战斗优势”计划中开发了一种正压呼吸抗荷系统（PBG）。为了确定使用PBG是否会产生任何急性不良健康影响，对241名（F - 15和F - 16）飞行员（49名使用PBG，192名使用标准方法）进行了调查。询问了有关急性健康影响以及PBG对任务完成情况的影响的问题。除干咳外，未发现不良事件有显著增加，并且F - 16对该系统的接受度远高于F - 15。
