The Aura Fatigue and Heat Stress Algorithms

Abstract

Since its inception in the late 1970's, the Army Unit Resiliency Analysis Methodology has been applied in an increasingly wider array of studies dealing with unit performance on the conventional/nuclear/chemical battlefield. These applications have resulted in many methodology expansions. In particular, highly detailed models of personnel response have been added with the assistance and in support of the medical community. This report describes, in fair detail, the fatigue and heat stress models and presents corroborating data and calculations. These models have been extensively used and are supported by results of field exercises. Keywords: Fatigue; Heat stress; Personnel modeling; Performance degradation; Human factors.
