Research in Support of Joint Army-Navy Air Crew Impact Injury Prevention Program.

Abstract

The research described in this paper falls into two separate categories. First, research was performed to develop and apply mathematical models which would accurately simulate the dynamic response of the living human over a wide range of impact-accelerative forces applied to the human along various vectors. This research would hopefully lead to the specification of a manikin to simulate human response to impact acceleration. Research was also performed to determine the physiological response of the human to impact acceleration or the effect of impact-accelerative forces on cardiac and pulmonary functions, skeletal integrity and organ tissue integrity. Second, research was performed and a computer model called MEDCON was developed to determine the requirements in medical personnel and facilities of NAVY-BUMED at different times and locations before and during a precisely-specified contingency.
