over other attenuation devices (such as earplugs). Incorporating an ANR system in the
Seahawk would allow realistic flight durations to be maintained, improve voice
communication, and reduce aircrew fatigue.

Abstract:
The RN EH101 maritime patrol helicopter is to enter service with the Royal Navy near the
end of the decade. The prime contractorship for this weapon system development was
awarded to an IBM led IBM ASIC/WHL consortium in early 1992. A Human Engineering
Programme Plan (HEPP) was mandated by the MoD contract and is being managed by
WHL. A major HEPP requirement is for a predictive workload analysis of aircrew tasks.
This paper covers aspects of the predictive workload analysis conducted by WHL in
consultation with Ael. The predictive analysis includes two complementary approaches to
the study of workload. One uses a time line based `snap-shot' approach which considers
mission task time requirements versus the task time available and task associated
attentional demand characteristics. The second approach uses a novel technique
examining task related decision processes and their associated errors. This paper
concentrates on the second approach. To set the paper's context, the `snap-shot'
approach to the analysis is briefly discussed. The results from the predictive workload
analysis will be validated under full simulation conditions in mid 1994.

Abstract:
The techniques and methodologies developed for the Canadian Forces' Human
Engineering Analysis and Requirements Tools (HEART) Programme were applied to an
Aircraft Survivability Equipment installation on the CH-135 helicopter. The methodology
was applied to the proposed installation of a threat warning receiver and automated
countermeasures dispenser which were designed to protect the helicopter against enemy
gun and missile engagement. This analysis was the first application of the HEART
Programme to a practical cockpit design issue, permitting design decisions regarding the
suitability of equipment placement with the CH-135 cockpit to be made with confidence.

Abstract:
The relationship between the dark focus of accommodation and simulator sickness, a
form of motion sickness, was examined in three experiments. In Experiment 1, dark focus
was measured in 18 college students in a laboratory setting before and after they viewed
a projected motion scene depicting low altitude helicopter flight. In Experiments 2 and 3,
