| Abstract: |
Proper fit of military clothing and equipment is important for the health, safety and operational performance of NATO military personnel. Clothing and equipment sizing should reflect the body dimensions, that are changing due to secular trends. Increasingly 3D whole body scanners are used to measure the body. NATO RTG HFM-266 recommends to use 3D body scanning for military clothing and equipment supply because the derived body dimensions are more reproducible than manual measures, can be integrated in the logistic chain and 3D scans allows for virtual fitting of military clothing and equipment. Conversion of scan-derived body dimensions to the best fitting clothing and equipment size is a complex process and real-life fitting is generally still required. Privacy issues are important and technical solutions, such as conversion of the individual scan to a human model, should be considered. The technique of virtual fitting of garments is promising, but needs validation and needs to move away from static fitting to dynamic fitting. It is important that the clothing supply staff is trained in 3D scanning and data processing technology and that experiences are shared between NATO countries and allied forces in order to benefit from this technology. |
