HUMAN EFFECTIVENESS DIRECTORATE -- NOTICE OF NAECON 98 BRIEFING The Human Effectiveness Directorate of the Air Force Research Laboratory announces that it will provide a briefing to industry on the work of the directorate. The directorate was formed late last year through a merger of the Crew Systems, Human Resources, Occupational and Environmental Health, and Aerospace Medicine Directorates of the former Armstrong Laboratory, to provide a single focal point for human technologies of interest to the Air Force. The briefing will be held in conjunction with the National Aerospace and Electronics Conference (NAECON) in Dayton, Ohio. The overall program runs 13-17 July at the Dayton Convention Center, with the directorate's session on Thursday, 16 July, starting at 0830 a.m. Interested parties are referred to the NAECON website at http://www.naecon.org for details and registration information. Presenters will discuss the directorate's organization, strategic vision, investment strategy, anticipated new program starts for FY99, and technologies the directorate wants to commercialize. Topics include basic research, exploratory and advanced development, Small Business Innovative Research, and Cooperative R&D Agreement opportunities. Key managers, scientists, and engineers will be on hand to answer questions before and after the briefings. This will probably be the first chance most attendees will have for an in-depth look at forthcoming business opportunities in the fields of human effectiveness. For further information on the directorate's program, contact Dr. Bill Albery (937) 255-5742. Companies wishing to exhibit at NAECON 98 should contact Woody Willis at (937) 429-7733, extension 135.
