The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) has announced that the US Army is developing a new ATD named WIAMan (Warrior Injury Assessment Manikin). WIAMan is designed to better simulate human injuries from under-vehicle blasts than the Hybrid III, which is designed primarily for horizontal impact tests. The WIAMan project was started in 2012 in Maryland under project director Dr Ken Tarcza, with input from TARDEC and nine other academic institutions.
