DEL MAR AVIONICS PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A MOBILE PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING SYSTEMFOR THE U.

DEL MAR AVIONICS PROPOSES TO DEVELOP A MOBILE PHYSIOLOGICAL MONITORING SYSTEMFOR THE U.S. ARMY'S MANPRINT PROGRAM WITH SPECIFIC APPLICATION TO THE COLD REGION TESTING REQUIREMENTS. THIS PHSE I STUDY IS INTENDED TO (1) IDENTIFY DETAILED REQUIREMENTS AND GENERATE PRELIMINARY SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SYSTEM; (2) APPLY THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE IN BIOMEDICAL, HUMAN FACTORS AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING TO RECOMMEND AN OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR PHASE II. THE STUDY WILL RESULT IN (1) IDENTIFICATION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS THAT VARY UNDER SPECIFIC TASKS/ACTIVITIES; (2) FUNCTIONAL DESIGN INCLUDING SPECIFIC DATA ACQUISITION SENSORS AND MEANS OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE SOLDIER(S) AND A REMOTE MONITORING STATION; (3) IDENTIFICATION OF TECHNIQUES AND EQUIPMENT RESOURCES AVAILABLE FROM THE INDUSTRY CAPABLE OF SATISFYING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS; AND (4) DESCRIPTION OF A RECOMMENDED SYSTEM CONFIGURATION AND SOFTWARE/HARDWARE CAPABILITIES.
