Accurate capture of encumbered anthropometry is critical to ensure that the analysis and design of military platforms and workspaces account for the additional space required for clothing and PPE equipment. To examine the effect of encumbrance on spatial claim, a method was developed to obtain scan-extracted measures from detailed whole-body shape data. This analysis focused on comparing cross-sectional measures extracted from 3D scan data with measurements of the same participants obtained by traditional 1D techniques, while donning different levels of clothing and equipment.
