Human Performance and Protection Enhancement

Hello and welcome to the QinetiQ Human Performance and Protection Enhancement (HPPE) research trials home page.
*
Human Performance and Protection Enhancement QinetiQ’s HPPE team is one of the largest human factors research groups in Europe, and includes physiologists, medical officers, ergonomists, psychologists and statisticians. By studying the integration of people and modern technology, the team hopes to enhance safety, reduce the risk of injury and improve operational effectiveness.
*

Within the HPPE research group we regularly conduct trials that require the participation of human volunteers. These trials are wide ranging and include investigations into:

  • the effects of simulated high altitude exposure as experienced by aircrew;
  • the effects of increased G-forces, as experienced by fighter pilots and motor sport drivers;
  • the effects of running exercise on bone health;
  • the effects of exposure to hot and cold environments;
  • the effectiveness of protective clothing.
