Notes on Contributors
Aeromedical Research Laboratory, Fort Rucker, Alabama. He received his
optometry degree (OD) from Illinois College of Optometry, Chicago,
Illinois, and a M.S. in physiological optics from the University of Houston,
Houston, Texas. Major McLean retired from the Armed Forces in 1985.
From 1985 to 1988 he was a member of a design and evaluation team at
Hamilton Standard for prototype helmet mounted displays developed for
flight simulation, helicopter flight, astronauts, and the infantry soldier.
These developments resulted in two patents. From 1988 to 1991, he was
a human factors engineer in optics at the Human Engineering Laboratory
in Aberdeen, Maryland, where he modeled target and background contrast
variations in the field and unaided visual detection of simple and complex
targets. Since 1991 he has primarily evaluated night vision devices and the
optical characteristics of safety and protective mask lenses.
John C. Mora is an Electro-Optics Research Assistant for the U.S.
Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory, Fort Rucker, Alabama. He
received his B.A. in human biology from the University of Northern
Colorado, Greeley, Colorado. He is currently serving in the U.S.
Army as a Medical Lab Technician\Biological Research Assistant.
His recent research areas have included the evaluation of the RAH-66
Comanche Helmet Integrated Display Sight System (HIDSS) helmetmounted
display, the association between visor use and facial injuries
during helicopter accidents, cathode ray tube and flat panel display
evaluation, and corneal topography.
Ben T. Mozo is a Research Physicist for the U.S. Army Aeromedical
Research Laboratory, Fort Rucker, Alabama. He received his B.S. in
physics from the University of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida. He has
more than 25 years experience in the research area of noise hazards with
primary emphasis on improving personal communication and hearing
protection provided for the soldier. He was recently awarded The Order of
Aeromedical Merit from the Society of U. S. Army Flight Surgeons for the
development of the Communications Earplug (CEP), which uses passive
sound attenuation to achieve noise reduction and speech communication.
