The medical service of marine aviation of the Navy performs the same functions as are typical for all other navy corps and, at the same time, has tasks specific for aviation. The professional activities of flying personnel pose high requirements to health conditions. The vast and constantly expanding range of factors that influence pilots adversely includes overcharge, noise, vibration, electromagnetic radiation, high temperatures, high intensity of operation, strong cognitive stresses, hypodynamia, monotony etc. They all are prone with making pilot conditions worse and can affect the results of their operation.

The paper discusses field trials of two approaches to acceleration of adaptation of marines to low-latitudes navigation, which is associated with intensive physical activity at high temperatures. When only physical exercises were used for training, adaptation to the above conditions was accomplished by the end of the second month of navigation. Ergothermic training exercised prior to entering the low latitudes ensured preservation of professional workability at the very onset and all over the time of navigation in tropics.

Socio-hygienic monitoring in military shipbuilding promotes adoption of adequate administrative solutions aimed at preventing the adverse effects of unfavorable environmental factors on shipbuilding specialists. The main approach to monitoring the habitable environment of ships during their designing and constructing is the sanitary-epidemiological assessment. Bettering of socio-hygienic monitoring in military shipbuilding requires harmonization (as to its structure, information contents, and methodological provision) with the unified system of socio-hygienic monitoring in Russia.
