Aeromedical Research

The Institute has been actively engaged in various research activities in the field of Aerospace Medicine. Most of the research is of an applied nature, oriented towards operational efficiency and flight safety. Research is supported by the Armed Forces Medical Research Committee, and the Human Engineering Panel of Aeronautical Research and Development Board. The Research Division conducts seminars, symposia and conferences where work undertaken by the Institute are presented and discussed. IAM has made significant contributions to aeromedical research in the areas of thermal stress, physiological tolerance limits of aircrew, mental workload and clinical aerospace medicine.

Human Engineering Consultancy
IAM provides aeromedical consultancy in aircraft design and in promotion of flights safety through aircraft accident investigations for military and civil aircraft. IAM has been nominated as the prime agency for all human engineering aspects in the design and development of the Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) and the Advanced Light Helicopter (ALH), which are to be the mainstay of our Forces in the future.

Aeromedical Support to Civil Aviation & Space Authorities
IAM provides aeromedical support to various national projects in aeronautical and space sciences. It has already been recognised by both the Russian and the US Space agencies for astronaut and cosmonaut evaluation, besides conducting life science experiments in space.
