A History of Extreme Environment Safety
The first company that would become Humanetics began developing an anthropomophic dummy for testing air and spacecraft ejection seats, helmets and restraint systems.
That first dummy became the father of industry-specific dummies for automotive, aerospace and military safety testing. In the decades since, we have continually refined the biofidelity, instrumentation and usability of our dummies to meet the unique needs of these industries and the critical environments they must address.
Extreme Environment Dummy Types
We engineer specialized dummies and legforms designed for live-fire testing to evaluate the effects of ballistic impacts and the effectiveness of armor and other countermeasures. We offer dummies for testing aircraft ejection seat systems and parachutes. Our FOCUS headform measures facial and eye impact loads in protective equipment tests. We also provide dummies for the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System, JPATS, to comply with the sizes and weights of pilots, from small females to large males.
Specialized Designs
Humanetics’ Extreme Environment ATDs are built on the same proven technologies used in automotive crash and impact testing, delivering precise and repeatable measurement of human injury risk. They are the same biofidelic measurement systems trusted throughout the transportation industry, using the same core instrumentation, sensing technologies, and injury assessment methods to capture how forces translate into human response.
We owe a special duty to our men and women in uniform. When placed in harm’s way, they deserve every advantage for returning home safely to their loved ones. Humanetics is proud to be part of that mission.
