America's war fighters face many

00:02.843 --> 00:05.010
dangers on the battlefield , including

00:05.010 --> 00:07.120
exposure to chemical and biological

00:07.120 --> 00:09.640
threats . Development , testing and

00:09.640 --> 00:11.862
evaluation of protective garments could

00:11.862 --> 00:13.973
be costly and time consuming . It can

00:13.973 --> 00:16.084
require multiple iterations of design

00:16.300 --> 00:18.650
manufacturing physical testing to

00:18.650 --> 00:20.872
ensure that the garment being tested is

00:20.872 --> 00:22.928
an effective toxicological barrier .

00:23.040 --> 00:25.207
But a new advanced computer model will

00:25.207 --> 00:27.096
speed up this test and evaluation

00:27.096 --> 00:29.290
process . Individual Protection System

00:29.290 --> 00:31.990
Performance model evaluates a proposed

00:32.000 --> 00:34.400
suit by simulating several designs

00:34.410 --> 00:36.530
against a variety of conditions with

00:36.530 --> 00:39.270
only a small swatch of material . Learn

00:39.270 --> 00:41.270

00:41.400 --> 00:43.178
developed by the Defense Threat

00:43.178 --> 00:45.067
Reduction Agencies , Chemical and
