Accuracy Evaluation of The Heat Strain Decision Aid (HSDA) For Modeling and Simulation of Activities Wearing Chemical, Biological, and Radiological Protective Ensembles

Abstract

This report provides a brief review of the HSDA and includes a brief summary of validation conditions and results for chemical protective clothing and tables of chemical protective clothing values for use in HSDA. This work specifically supports requirements to evaluate the US Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) Heat Strain Decision Aid (HSDA) for use in modeling and simulation (M and S) in support of the Uniform Integrated Protective Ensemble Aircrew (UIPE-Air) Operational Test and Evaluation (OT and E). These analyses provide evidence that new UIPE-Air ensembles will be adequately represented by HSDA predictions and we recommend accreditation of the model for UIPE-Air.
