Clothe the Soldier Prototype Modular Load Carriage System Design Assessment using the APLCS Load Carriage Simulator

摘要

The objective of this study was to conduct a standardized assessment of the CTS prototype modular (M1) pack on a computerized Load Carriage (LC) Simulator. Specifically, the LC Simulator measured variables which assess load control and load transfer capability of the M1 pack. These aspects of pack design were comprised of several displacement, force, moment and pressure variables that had been validated on previously tested systems where LC Simulator outputs were compared to assessments by experienced users during human trials.
