WIAMan ATD Delivered

The US Army has taken delivery ofthe first batch of "Gen 1" Warrior Injury Assessment Manikin (WIAMan) ATDs. This is a major milestone in this important program to create an entirely new physical test device for vehicles exposed to underbody blast. Our group developed the anthropometric specifications for the ATD (size, shape, posture) and has been active with other universities in developing the performance specifications and injury criteria through our drop-tower test program. More info on that research is available elsewhere in these pages.
