“…The most frequently used methods of evaluation of data by defining parameters such as maximal value, minimal value, range of measured values, variance of the measured values of the specific measured quantity [13,52,53]. The determined parameter's value in specific moment in time can determine the condition of the measured subject, either by the expert evaluation of the relevant person, or automatically, based on previous measured normative values corresponding to a specific state of subject.…”

“…Currently, there are several wearable systems, which differ in technical design, but in most cases, they are modular systems that use specific sensors that allow monitoring of specific parameters based on demands of its usage. Many research projects were devoted to the design of general-purpose or medical body sensor solutions in the last decade [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], as well as recent research projects are [10][11][12][13][14][15]. The target groups are, apart from armed forces, fire departments, emergency medical services and other rescue services.…”

“…The wearable systems are used only experimentally in the Czech Armed Forces. For example, the FlexiGuard system [13,63] is a biotelemetric system for monitoring the physiological conditions of rescuers, firefighters and soldiers and it was developed at the Faculty of Biomedical Engineering of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The design was based on the needs of end users from the ranks of firefighters and soldiers and in direct collaboration with them.…”

“…Testing resistance against extreme temperatures was carried out by observing the functions of the device in environment with temperatures −15 °C and +80 °C. Temperature changes did not have any effect on the functionality of the sensors [13,63]. Inside every personal measuring unit, there is a memory card that stores every input signals, even in the case of random blackout of the wireless data transmission with the command visualisation unit.…”

From the second half of the 1990s, thanks to more affordable and more powerful information technology and electronical systems for recording based on miniaturized sensors, we can observe a more intensive development of a method of data analysis and a system that monitors the physical and psychological conditions of soldiers. Systems for measuring and evaluation methods of physical and medical data for the diagnostics of physical and psychological state have significantly spread, especially in clinical practice. This study, however, examines the current technologies and usage of the wearable monitoring systems in military field. The result of this study is not only the not-yet published summary of the current state, but also the proposed possibilities of usage and recommendation of specific systems, their sensors and system methods in the military. Thus, the article can serve as a guide for choosing suitable and affordable electronical wearable systems and methods of quantitative evaluation of physical and psychological conditions of people in the military.

The article is devoted to the development of the methodology of measuring pilot performance under real flight conditions. It provides the basic information on a research project realized to obtain new information regarding training and education of pilots. The introduction is focused on the analytical part of the project and the outputs in terms of the current state of the art. Detailed view is cast on the issue of measuring pilot performance under specific conditions of the cockpit or the flight simulator. The article is zooming in on the two selected and developed methods of pilot performance in terms of the defined indicators evaluated, conditions of compliance for conducting research and procedures of the methodology of pilot performance measurements.
