Method for Human Factors Evaluation of Ballistic Protective Helmets

Abstract

Several experiments and surveys were conducted to learn more about the relationship between helmet weight, shape and suspension for ballistic protective helmets. Surveys were conducted to develop rating scales suitable for field testing. Experiments were conducted using the rating scales as the dependent variable. Design guidance and testing methodology are suggested for development and for human factors evaluation for future ballistic protective helmets.
