Medical equipment is necessary to support patients requiring air transportation, but it may not be compatible with the aviation environment. Aircraft systems may cause errors in the functioning of medical equipment, or that equipment may interfere with the aircraft. Medical equipment has been tested, primarily for fixed wing aircraft, to military standards by the U.S. Air Force. This study repo...

distribution is one of the most important topics in industrial engineering and logistics and supply chain that all organizations are dealing with it in the upper echelons and are looking for the optimum distribution of resources and equipment among the echelon. generally, it is seen that organizations cannot have a good distribution if there is not a suitable criterion for the distribution of e...

Military is one of many industries that is more computer-dependent than ever before, from soldiers with computerized weapons, and tactical wireless devices, to commanders with advanced battle management, command and control systems. Fundamentally, command and control is the process of planning, monitoring, and commanding military personnel, weaponry equipment, and combating vehicles to execute ...

In this paper, a new scheme for the simulation of tactical communications systems is introduced where the mobility, call and availability patterns for the communications equipment are generated by using the data inferred from the joint theater level battle simulations. In this technique, the mobility, strength and posture data related to military units are stored in a database by a military con...

We hypothesized that our institutional standard practice for preanesthesia equipment checkout, based in part on US Food and Drug Administration recommendations, failed to detect a significant number of faults (absent or nonfunctional equipment). We designed a new, computer-based, highly interactive electronic checklist that emulated the checklist methods used in aviation and military settings a...

Current generation military simulators are expensive, increasing costs for GPS test and evaluation for military GPS user equipment developers. Inexpensive commercial GPS simulators are available that use signal simulation, record and playback techniques to test receivers under representative environment, but these commercial record and playback GPS simulators do not have the bandwidth needed to...
