Interlaboratory Manikin Testing, Mathematical Modeling, and Human Research Data

Abstract

A long-standing and productive partnership between the United States Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Defense of Australia (ADOD) has helped enable significant scientific improvement within life sciences. These collaborations span across the full spectrum of life science activities that have direct and indirect benefit to modern military service members. This report highlights a positive example of this partnership, specifically between the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) and the Defence Science and Technology Group (DST), under a formal Project Arrangement (PA) for Human Thermoregulatory Models for Thermal Safety.Included within the objectives of this collaborative partnership between USARIEM and DST are equipment sharing, data exchange, and collaborative work with human research and thermoregulatory models. This report outlines a combination of many of these elements, including sharing of DST human research data, joint analysis for model validation, materiel sharing of three chemical protective ensembles and inter-laboratory thermal manikin testing and data exchange for comparison.
