Preliminary Anthropometric Specification for Land Vehicles

An anthropometric specification which describes the "hard to fit" members of the Army population has been developed. This specification can be used to inform the anthropometric fit aspects of new vehicle acquisitions and any upgrades of existing vehicles.

Application of Quantitative Phosphorous Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy to Chemical Warfare Agents

This report outlines the development of an inverse-gated phosphorous nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy method for determining the purity of chemical warfare agents using reference standards contained within a glass stem coaxial insert. The operational simplicity of this method enables both quantitative and qualitative information to be rapidly gleaned from a single sample.
