The NATO STO held a Technical Course on aerospace medicine this month at the 16th annual NATO-Ramstein Aerospace Medicine Summit (NATO-RAMS). The event, organised by the STO Human Factors and Medicine (HFM) Panel, was held on 21-24 March in Garmisch, Germany.
Held under the theme of “Accelerate Exchange”, the Technical Course (HFM-364) covered the latest knowledge and practices in aerospace medicine, and evaluated new and emerging technologies within the field. It also covered current and future challenges in deployed area and multinational environments, with a focus on operational aviation medicine. The event brought together 178 participants from 15 NATO Nations, as well as representatives from Sweden, Finland, Ireland and India.
The course featured lectures on aeromedical aspects of human spaceflight, as well as medical certification considerations for single-pilot and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Podium presentations were delivered across eight sessions on: simulators, technology and training; infectious disease and aeromedical evacuation; expeditionary medicine, rescue and space; aircrew fatigue; fast jets; aeromedical standards and flight screening; psychology, remote warfare and barriers to care; and NATO activities and battlefield acupuncture.
Panel sessions covered embedded human performance programs, fatigue management in aircrew, operational vision and the effects of flight on injuries. Seven working groups covered other topics of interest, including one – evidence-based aerospace medicine – that is expected to transition into a formal NATO activity under the HFM Panel.
Dr Ryan Mays (USA), the academic director of the Technical Course, was also recognized with the HFM Scientific Achievement Award at the event, in honour of the dedication and commitment he has devoted to scientific investigations over many years.
The 17th Annual Summit will again be held in Garmisch, 19-22 March 2024. For more information, please contact
