High performance physiological training for the military aviation environment
The RAAF Institute of Aviation Medicine (AVMED) has been providing ADF aircrew physiological training for over half a century. Over that time military aviation has changed significantly. Similarly some of the challenges faced by today’s aircrew are unique to modern times, however some of the challenges are periennial. AVMED’s mission to enhance “safe and effective ADF aerospace operations” requires unique equipment, specialist knowledge and a flexible approach.
