JSF Caesar: Construction of a 3-D Anthropometric Sample for Design and Sizing of Joint Strike Fighter Pilot Clothing and Protective Equipment
Abstract
The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) anthropometric Cases 1 through 8 were not intended to represent a statistical description for the variation important in the design of personal clothing and equipment for the JSF pilot. Instead, the anthropometric measures associated with the JSF Cases define the minimum level of physical accommodation for men and women in the Joint Strike Fighter cockpit. The statistical process of constructing representative cases used in the design of clothing and gear require an entirely different multivariate approach. CAESAR, a 3-D whole body database, was sampled to produce 1374 subjects (651 men and 723 women) that represent a modern equivalent to the WATS population, but using projected demographics of JSF flyers in the Joint Services in the year 2010. After analysis, and overlay of the JSF Cases, 646 men and 695 women were identified as falling within weight allowances and the reconstructed ellipses of accommodation defined by the original JSF Cases. The forty traditional measures and the associated 3-D scans of these individuals represent the statistical base from which JSF flight clothing and equipment can be designed and/or sized.
