| Summary: | Of primary concern to the Army is the compliance of crew workstations to Manprint so as to enhance operator comfort and safety in the performance of the specified tasks. This paper discusses the methodology and design tools utilized to provide Crew Seats for the Army Tank - Turreted Air Defense Weapon System. In particular, the use of the Cad System - Ideas for generating anthropometric models for the 5th percentile male lightly clothed and the 95th percentile male in arctic clothing from MIL-HDBK-759A and the design constraints on MIL-STD-1472C will be reviewed. Potential environmental factors affecting safety and human performance, potential areas of concern regarding entry and egress, potential areas of concern regarding workspace, and the Turreted Weapon System seat requirements will be discussed. |
