Key Details
Official Description
The goal of this STTR topic is to leverage newly available data and advances in digital human modeling to improve modeling fidelity for USN/USMC and other DOW aircrew to improve acquisition outcomes. Resulting improvements to operational and environmentally appropriate protective clothing and equipment size, design, and tariffing (i.e., determination of how much of each size needs to be procured and distributed) will yield significant benefits to Fleet readiness and sustainment, safety, performa...
Change History
Advancing Human Modeling Tools for Enhanced Performance and Survivability in Austere Environments
Added Q1 directing applicants to FAQ document at www.navysbir.com/n26_1s/DON26TZ01-NV015-FAQ.pdf. Original Q&A about phased approach (head/body vs. feet modeling) retained as Q2 with no answer changes.
Advancing Human Modeling Tools for Enhanced Performance and Survivability in Austere Environments
Q1 received an answer clarifying that while phased approaches are acceptable, head/body models are preferred over hand/foot models, unless applicants have pre-existing hand/foot models to modify.
Advancing Human Modeling Tools for Enhanced Performance and Survivability in Austere Environments
This Q&A clarifies whether applicants must develop a comprehensive system or can focus on specific body areas (e.g., feet), with the option to expand to additional areas (head, body) in subsequent phases if the concept is validated in Phase I.
