Description

Spatial disorientation (SD) continues to be a pervasive fatal event for military aviators and has a wide range of causes and facets. As a result there is no singular measure of SD that can be used to quantify occurrence or opportunity for SD or its causal factors.  To meet this challenge, the SoarTech team proposes to leverage its SD modeling research to develop WISDOM – the Wing Instruction Spatial Disorientation Outcome Measure. The multi-faceted measure will be instantiated within an easily administered software application for use in data collection, replication, data, analysis, and reporting, allowing instructors and stakeholders to assess the impact of existent and future SD training. WISDOM will be psychometrically validated providing a reliable, standardized assessment for SD and SD training.
