U.S ARMY WIAMan BLAST DUMMY

FIRST VERTICAL LOAD MANIKIN WITH INTEGRATED IN-DUMMY DAS

Improve military vehicle designs to better protect soldiers in underbody blasts
Current automotive crash test dummies are designed for either frontal or side impact testing
Tight space constraints in military vehicles for test instrumentation
High channel count tests, including set-up and positioning ATDs with large umbilical of exit cables
Cable management, issues with noise, data loss and damaged or tangled cables
Manikin needed to withstand repeated vertical acceleration blast pulses in the lab and live fire tests
Limited biomechanics data available to support development of a new ATD

U.S. Army assembled an expert team of government, industry and academia partners
DTS was named the Prime Contractor to develop the new ATD and a new in-dummy DAS solution
Warrior Injury Assessment Manikin (WIAMan) is the first underbody blast dummy designed for vertical load testing
Designed and manufactured a sophisticated, modular in-dummy DAS solution
Required extensive biomechanics data research, utilized new ATD manufacturing techniques and materials
Engineered to support 150+ channels of SLICE6 distributed throughout WIAMan utilizing Ethernet
SLICE6 reduces in-dummy cabling and connectors by up to 75%, and has only a single external communications/power cable which can be disconnected for test, making the ATD fully autonomous
Utilizing the IEEE 1588 time protocol standard for achieving clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range for precise synchronization across all data channels both within the ATD and when using multiple ATDs in a single test
Store in place reliability, data writes directly to non-volatile flash memory
Proven reliability of ATD and DAS through hundreds of simulated, laboratory and live-fire tests
