Project Scope
- Conduct PPE ensemble physiologic testing in the NPPTL research physiology laboratory
- Physiologic test of conductive & convective cooling countermeasures
- Develop & test model of regional vs. global cooling countermeasures
- Incorporate data from current project and Project HEROES in the development of physiologic models and countermeasures
Milestones
- Q1 Submit subjective data manuscript to Ergonomics journal
- Q2 Submit abstract to 2011 ICEE conference
- Q3 Present ergonomics paper at ASTM symposia, Anaheim, CA
- Q4 Present data at ICEE, Naftilo, Greece
|
Outputs
- Manuscripts published or submitted to peer review journals (3 to date)
- Presentations at conferences (5)
- Proceeding papers (1)
- Standards committee meetings & public meetings (2)
Outcomes
