This report describes a simple cost-effective method of measuring the activity of GPCRs coupled to the cAMP signalling pathway.

This report supports Defence outcomes by providing an up to date anthropometric dataset that is representative of Australian Army personnel. This will allow assessments to be made of the performance of existing and new soldier systems in terms of fit, clearance,  each, vision and posture.

In this report, the Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) submitted samples of soup mix packaging (laminate and formed packets) to assess its suitability for inclusion in combat ration packs (CRP).

This report contains details of the use of the Principal Components Analysis method to select a representative selection of body scans from the Australian Army Anthropometric survey and manufacture them into physical manikins.

In this report a side-by-side comparison with in-service CRP, a nutrient optimised modular MA CRP design is fielded with dismounted infantry personnel to assess fitness-for-purpose and utilisation over a 6–day use period.

Traditional anthropometric data are typically gathered from semi-nude subjects; therefore it is important, when required, to apply a correction factor to include additional size which would be introduced by the clothing or equipment worn by the subject. The Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group identified the need to supplement anthropometric data from the Australian Warfighter Anthropometric Survey (AWAS) with Personal Equipment and Clothing Correction Factors (PECCFs) to ensure a more realistic representation of the equipped soldier. A program of work has been conducted by DST Group to develop PECCFs as well as the methodology used to collect PECCFs. The intention of this document is to provide a summary of the work that has been conducted to-date and identify future areas of work/collaboration in equipped anthropometry.
