The physiological effects of wearing U.S. Army aviator nuclear-biological-chemical (NBC) individual protective equipment (IPE) were evaluated in the USAARL UH-60 research flight simulator. There were 16 male aviators who flew the simulator in 4 test conditions: standard flight suit and cool cockpit, standard flight suit and hot cockpit, NBC IPE and cool cockpit, NBC IPE and hot cockpit. The cool condition was a WBGT of 17.9 degrees C, the hot 30.6 degrees C. Rectal temperature, mean skin temperature, and heart rate were monitored and showed significant increases for the NBC hot condition compared with the other three. Seven subjects failed to complete the sortie in the NBC hot condition, with a mean survival time of 298 min. All subjects flew for the target 6 h in the other conditions.
在美国陆军航空医学研究实验室（USAARL）的UH - 60研究飞行模拟器中，对穿着美国陆军飞行员核生化（NBC）个人防护装备（IPE）的生理影响进行了评估。有16名男性飞行员在4种测试条件下驾驶模拟器：标准飞行服和凉爽驾驶舱、标准飞行服和炎热驾驶舱、NBC IPE和凉爽驾驶舱、NBC IPE和炎热驾驶舱。凉爽条件下湿球黑球温度（WBGT）为17.9摄氏度，炎热条件下为30.6摄氏度。监测了直肠温度、平均皮肤温度和心率，结果显示与其他三种条件相比，NBC炎热条件下这些指标显著升高。7名受试者未能在NBC炎热条件下完成飞行任务，平均生存时间为298分钟。在其他条件下，所有受试者都飞行了目标时长6小时。
