In this chapter, we discuss one such feasible approach that uses a sensor-integrated body suit under the soldier individual protection ensembles (IPE) that would provide substantial improvements over current testing methods.

From page 130... ...
Testing would incorporate time-stamped video recording to correlate body movements and initial IPE locations with all measurements accurately. The SIBS would allow testing for all sizes of soldiers, not just the 50th percentile male measurements specified in Section 3.2.2 of the PETMAN requirements document.

The proposed sensor-integrated approach would allow real-time monitoring and a huge variety of soldier movements and so provide added validation of suit integrity. This approach also eliminates the cost and potential hazards associated with the use of live agents.

From page 132... ...
If there is an absolute requirement for a PETMAN robot, the sensor-integrated approach could provide many of the key capabilities in the near term. This complementary approach would offer substantial improvements over current testing methods while the critical paths for PETMAN development are being explored.
