Welcome to the Biodynamics lab , part

00:08.029 --> 00:10.196
of the 7-Eleven human performance wing

00:10.196 --> 00:12.251
at Wright Patterson Air Force Base .

00:12.310 --> 00:14.590
Our mission over the last 5 decades has

00:14.590 --> 00:16.368
been to partner with government

00:16.368 --> 00:19.049
agencies , academia , industry , and

00:19.049 --> 00:21.216
international allies to understand the

00:21.216 --> 00:23.500
biomechanic . of injury and advance the

00:23.500 --> 00:25.700
safety of military personnel through

00:25.700 --> 00:27.819
research , development , test , and

00:27.819 --> 00:29.850
evaluation . By working together to

00:29.850 --> 00:31.979
solve tough challenges , AFRL's

00:31.979 --> 00:33.701
partners help to create future

00:33.701 --> 00:35.812
capabilities for our national defense

00:35.812 --> 00:37.868
in a secure laboratory environment .

00:38.220 --> 00:40.220
Equipped with unique facilities and

00:40.220 --> 00:42.498
state of the art modeling capabilities ,

00:42.498 --> 00:44.664
our research team can generate data to

00:44.664 --> 00:46.553
support injury risk assessment in

00:46.553 --> 00:48.387
accordance with various military

00:48.387 --> 00:50.053
standards for safe to fly and

00:50.053 --> 00:52.164
airworthiness evaluation . Our impact

00:52.164 --> 00:54.331
facilities can produce a wide range of

00:54.331 --> 00:56.553
horizontal and vertical impulse loading

00:56.553 --> 00:58.553
scenarios to stimulate air crew and

00:58.553 --> 01:00.609
equipment exposure to things such as

01:00.609 --> 01:02.720
aircraft ejection , crash shock , and

01:02.720 --> 01:05.080
ground vehicle underbody blast . The

01:05.080 --> 01:07.279
lab's vibration facility also provides

01:07.279 --> 01:09.400
the capability to directly replicate

01:09.400 --> 01:11.567
high vibration environments from field

01:11.567 --> 01:13.789
measurements of DOD aircraft and ground

01:13.789 --> 01:16.080
vehicles to evaluate the impact of

01:16.080 --> 01:17.913
prolonged exposure on humans and

01:17.913 --> 01:20.870
equipment . As the only man-rated

01:20.870 --> 01:23.037
impact and vibration facilities of its

01:23.037 --> 01:24.981
kind , the biodynamics lab has the

01:24.981 --> 01:27.059
unique capability and expertise to

01:27.059 --> 01:29.226
perform research with human subjects ,

01:29.226 --> 01:31.170
full body cadaveric subjects , and

01:31.170 --> 01:33.226
instrumented mannequins . Partnering

01:33.226 --> 01:34.980
with AFRL is easy and provides

01:34.980 --> 01:37.202
different entry points for . Partnering

01:37.202 --> 01:39.147
to meet specific program goals and

01:39.147 --> 01:41.202
fulfill the needs of our customers .

01:41.202 --> 01:43.424
Leveraging a collaborative research and

01:43.424 --> 01:45.258
development agreement , industry

01:45.258 --> 01:45.180
partners can use the same secure

01:45.180 --> 01:47.349
facilities , access to subject matter

01:47.349 --> 01:49.819
experts , and external testing support

01:49.819 --> 01:51.986
to develop consumer products that meet

01:51.986 --> 01:54.089
safety requirements . Collaborating

01:54.089 --> 01:56.145
with industry leaders in defense and

01:56.145 --> 01:58.529
space , the lab delivers biomechanical

01:58.529 --> 02:00.696
human response data that is crucial in

02:00.696 --> 02:02.696
the development of requirements and

02:02.696 --> 02:04.559
equipment for cutting edge space

02:04.559 --> 02:06.559
technology . Combining various data

02:06.559 --> 02:08.559
collected by the group has provided

02:08.559 --> 02:10.615
invaluable contributions to modeling

02:10.615 --> 02:12.892
efforts such as the human digital twin .

02:13.009 --> 02:14.842
Our data is widely used for this

02:14.842 --> 02:16.731
purpose and has helped to advance

digital human twin development for

02:18.676 --> 02:21.210
digital injury risk assessment . Our

02:21.210 --> 02:23.559
goal is simple to partner with

02:23.559 --> 02:25.670

02:25.670 --> 02:27.726
discoveries into practical solutions

02:27.726 --> 02:29.726
that boost warfighter readiness and

02:29.726 --> 02:32.059
capability , and we're making it happen .

02:32.059 --> 02:33.892
Our team of experts from various

02:33.892 --> 02:35.892
