ABSTRACT

Th e human is a complex organism, rapidly adapting to many changes in the environment. How humans adapt is highly dependent upon their current mental and physical state. In addition, a plethora of technological advances have been developed over the last decade to enhance human performance and allow one to better interact with the environment. Th e interaction of human and technology while performing tasks has been termed the “human system” or the “soldier system” within the military context (Allender et al., 1995; Martinez-Lopez, 2006).
