Advancing Pilot G‑Tolerance: Evidence‑Based Innovations in Anti G Straining Maneuver Training

Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC), in partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), invites proposals under the Joint Federal Research Funding Program (JFRFP) to advance scientific understanding and training effectiveness of the Anti‑G Straining Maneuver (AGSM) used by Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) pilots. This funding opportunity seeks integrative, multidisciplinary research to inform improved AGSM training approaches, with the goals of enhancing G‑force (Gz) tolerance, reducing the risk of G‑induced loss of consciousness (GLOC), and supporting operational performance in next‑generation high‑performance aircraft.
