From page 139...
... PD TESS has identified the need for a T&E capability that will provide full system evaluation of protective ensembles in CB warfare agent environments. The Protection Ensemble Test Mannequin (PETMAN)
From page 140...
... A threshold requirement denotes a minimum acceptable performance requirement while an objective requirement denotes the desired operational capability to meet system performance goals.
From page 141...
... Areas to be addressed are donning/doffing and proper size/fit of the individual protection equipment. The PETMAN system design shall meet the appropriate 50th percentile male anthropometric measurements, as defined in DOD-HDBK-743A, Military Handbook Anthropometry of U.S.
From page 142...
... Preventive maintenance is defined as a maintenance event performed prior to a failure in order to prevent its occurrence. 3.3.3 The PETMAN system shall meet the anthropometric requirements of the 50th percentile male IAW DOD-HDBK-743A, Military Handbook Anthropometry of U.S.
From page 143...

From page 144...
... 3.3.7.1  The upper body of the PETMAN system shall consist of a head, a neck, a torso, two shoulders, two upper arms, two elbows, two lower arms and two hands. 3.3.7.2  The head shall be able to both pan and tilt as required.
From page 145...
... Si multaneously step left foot to the side causing feet to be shoulder width apart and bring hands together palm to palm over head. Simultaneously return left foot to starting position (feet together)
From page 146...
... The PETMAN system shall be designed such that the individual protection equipment can be properly donned IAW the respective technical manuals. 3.3.9.1 Suits 3.3.9.1.1 Joint Service Lightweight Suit Technology (JSLIST)
From page 147...
... 3.3.10.1 M4 Modular Weapon 3.3.10.2 M24 Sniper Rifle 3.3.10.3 M16A2 Rifle 5.56 MM 3.3.10.4 XM8 Lightweight Assault Rifle 3.3.11 The PETMAN system shall be capable of being decontaminated with no adverse effects on the operation of the system and such that there is no effect on the next iteration of test (T) or leaving negligible agent residual, as defined by 3X decontamination level in DA PAM 385-61, Toxic Chemical Agent Safety Standards, (O)
From page 148...
... 148 APPENDIX B 3.3.14 The PETMAN system shall be programmable to perform a series of exercises or motion. The PETMAN system shall track body position during all motions within 1-second increments.
