 | This report documents an attempt to quantify the effects of multiple clothing layers on individual body size in order to provide important information to workspace designers and clothing system developers. Over 90 measurements were taken on an anthropometrically diverse sample of five men or five women. The specific clothing ensembles examines in the study include: Ground Soldier, Aviator-Warm Weather, Aviator-Cold Weather, Combat Vehicle Crewman-Warm Weather and Combat Vehicle Crewman-Cold Weather. ... |

| Many Army Clothing and Individual Equipment (CIE) systems used today were designed to accommodate male soldiers in the 5th-95th percentile range for critical body dimensions. Thus, female soldiers whose body dimensions are outside the design envelope may be compromised. This study was conducted to determine the compatibility of some currently fielded systems with body dimensions of female soldiers. Participation was limited to female soldiers whose height did not exceed 5' ... |

|
| Anthropometric databases that are representative of the user population are necessary for the design and sizing of clothing, equipment and workspaces. In 1996, a U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) anthropometric database of 76 dimensions for males and females was derived from the large 1988 U.S. Army Anthropometric Survey (ANSUR) database using a statistical matching procedure. The need to include USMC body size information in the Jack human figure model provided the ... |

|
| A validation sample of 535 male Canadian Forces (CF) was measured. Unfortunately, the measuring sites chosen by the CF were atypical and led to a non-random sample. Prior to discovering this bias, the data were utilized to explore several alternative matching procedures. The most successful was a subject-to-subject individual matching procedure using age, height and weight. However, waist circumference continued to differ significantly between the CF validation subjects and their ... |

|
| A review of six computerized human analogue models (SAMMIE, COMBIMAN, CREW CHIEF, CAR, JACK, and SAFEWORK) was conducted to identify the state-of-the- art in ergonomic modeling software. All of the models included here demonstrate some utility as ergonomic design tools and were developed so that materiel designers and engineers can conduct preliminary human factors analysis prior to prototype construction. These human figure models vary widely with respect to primary function ... |

|
| Analysis of data from more than 21,000 soldiers measured in U.S. military anthropometric surveys since 1966 indicates that 0.47% exceed the upper limits of fit for the size Large PASGT helmet in one or more head dimensions. Although this frequency is relatively low, it suggests that at least 3,650 individuals in the active duty Army may be disaccommodated by the current PaSGT sizing system, and that a size Extra-Large helmet ... |
