HUMAN PERFORMANCE

Our greatest asset continues to be the people who serve our country. Through biological and cognitive research, we ensure the warfighter’s training and readiness. Every technology we develop is designed with human capabilities in mind.
INNOVATION AT THE CORE
The 711th Human Performance Wing (711 HPW) is a combination of the Human Effectiveness Directorate (RH) and the US Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM), combining ideas, resources and technologies to position AFRL as a world leader in the study and advancement of human performance.
