DARPA is investigating whether electronic noise can interfere with military pilots.
The concern is that radio and electromagnetic fields could impair cognitive performance, causing momentary confusion.
More than 100 pilots have died in accidents attributed to spatial disorientation.
The Pentagon’s research and development arm is investigating whether the very equipment meant to save military pilots' lives on the battlefield is causing them to become disoriented and crash.
