Safety Summit Presentations
THOR-5F
October 10, 2025 | Integrated Advanced ATDs
Bella will present on the THOR-5F, the next-generation small female ATD. The discussion will highlight the need for the THOR-5F and the advantages it provides compared to the Hybrid-III 5th, particularly in capturing more accurate data for injury assessment. The session will also review updates introduced in the latest standard build level (SBL-C), and how these improvements affect dummy durability and overall performance.
