The Optimizing Human Weapon System (OHWS) initiative is designed to improve quality of life and readiness
by decreasing injury rates, most notably for the high rate of spine injuries incurred by fighter pilots. OHWS is
designed to meet the unique physical needs of fighter jet pilots. Fitness and conditioning is accomplished
through a comprehensive, coordinated, multi-disciplinary physical training program focused on the movement
and strengthening of the spinal musculoskeletal system. The purpose of providing the services of an OHWS
specialist to our rated pilots is to reduce frequency and severity of injuries and time lost from service, improve
long term quality of life, optimize human performance/ readiness, avoid injury prior to occurrence, increase
pilot production, and support pilot retention.
