Abstract
This article provides a short discussion of several models used to develop predictive techniques to study soldier performance while personnel wear chemical protective clothing (CPC). Discussed are U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army efforts in support of modeling of soldier performance in combat in a chemical environment. After several years of computer model development, a taxonomy was developed with a focus on human abilities impacted by wearing CPC. The potential application of this taxonomy for predictive modeling of CPC effects is described. This article also describes the scope of a computer accessible database of over 5,000 records, developed in support of the U.S. Army Program: Physiological and Psychological Effects of the Nuclear/Biological and Chemical Environment on Systems and Sustained Operations (P2NBC2). The database contains data from field studies for combat modeling efforts to support specialty areas such as operations, training, new protective garment evaluations, or MANPRINT analyses.
