Final Report


This report is a comprehensive but synoptic overview of the 711 HPW/RHPA Collaborative Biomechanics Data Network (CBDN). The CBDN is a working (i.e. operational) concept for how the collective wisdom of years of systematic DoD research into human response and tolerance should be archived and made accessible for future investigations and for principled operational safety policy. The intent of this report is to give a guided-tour of the CBDN contents, along with its data archiving methods and philosophy. This is done mainly through extended quotes from important source materials from the major contributors to the CBDN
