Many air forces are training fighter aircrew to improve their tolerance to the high-G environment by using human centrifuges. It is important to enhance and upgrade the methods and techniques employed in this aircrew training. At the Naval Air Development Center (NADC) we have developed several techniques to consolidate as much of the information as possible on the videotape recording of the centrifuge training. This includes a continuous electrocardiographic display, anti-G suit pressure tracing, heart rate parameters, +Gz parameter, and, if +Gz. induced loss of consciousness (G-LOC) occurs, the duration of incapacitation resulting from G-LOC. The techniques and information provided have been well received by Navy and Marine aviators participating in high-G training at NADC.

D002498 Centrifugation Process of using a rotating machine to generate centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, remove moisture, or simulate gravitational effects. It employs a large motor-driven apparatus with a long arm, at the end of which human and animal subjects, biological specimens, or equipment can be revolved and rotated at various speeds to study gravitational effects. (From Websters, 10th ed; McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
D006112 Gravitation Acceleration produced by the mutual attraction of two masses, and of magnitude inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two centers of mass. It is also the force imparted by the earth, moon, or a planet to an object near its surface. (From NASA Thesaurus, 1988) G Force,Gravistimulation,Gravity,Force, G,G Forces,Gravities
