Abstract

The topic of the research article is the development of an evaluation method of an ergonomic-based test battery to evaluate the ease of use, cutting solution and materials of the combat clothing uniform of defence forces, which can be added to the procurement sample evaluation system. Evaluation of the ergonomics of the new combat clothing uniform was performed using military recruits who completed a Military Pentathlon test battery in outdoor conditions with eight different obstacles. The comfort and fit of the tested clothes were evaluated using observation and questionnaire. This process was carried out using 47 military personnel of the Estonia Defence Force battalions. Each soldier was measured manually with a tape measure to clarify clothing size and to characterize the test population. From the measurement results, test persons 14, whose measurements corresponded to the size number and height of the two sample combat clothing, were selected. With selected 14 test persons was performed testing of combat clothing outside, which were carried out on the test battery of ergonomic. Their performance evaluated by two external observers with relevant education. After completing the test battery, both, test subjects and observers individually filled the closed-ended questionnaire with a 3-point attitude scale with emoticons about the ergonomic aspects of the combat clothing. The analysis of the answers to the questionnaire showed that the opinions of both the subjects and the observers agreed. Among the 14 subjects, 11 were conscripts. This shows that if a corresponding test track has been prepared for testing the ergonomics of clothing, then giving an assessment to the clothing is understandable to the respondent. The method also facilitates the verification of clothing criteria as performance-based procurement assessment. Not a separate test battery was prepared during this study. This helps to save costs, as it does not require the construction of a specific test battery and is available to many military recruits.

为爱沙尼亚采购过程开发基于性能的作战服装规范模型
本文的研究课题是开发一种基于人体工程学的测试电池的评估方法,用于评估国防军作战服制服的易用性、切割溶液和材料,可添加到采购样品评估系统中。对新作战服的人体工程学进行了评估,这些新兵在户外条件下完成了八种不同障碍物的军事五项测试。采用观察法和问卷法对被试服装的舒适度和合身度进行评价。这一过程是由爱沙尼亚国防军各营的47名军事人员执行的。每个士兵都是用卷尺手工测量的,以明确衣服尺寸和测试人群的特征。从测量结果中选择了与两件战斗服的尺寸号和高度相对应的测试人员14人。选取14名试验人员,在人体工学试验电池上对作战服进行了室外试验。他们的表现由两名受过相关教育的外部观察员评估。在完成测试后,测试对象和观察者分别填写了一份封闭的问卷,问卷的态度量表为3分,带有关于战斗服人体工程学方面的表情符号。对问卷答案的分析表明,受试者和观察者的观点都是一致的。在14名受试者中,有11名是应征入伍者。这表明,如果已经为测试服装的人体工程学准备了相应的测试轨道,那么对服装进行评估对于被调查者来说是可以理解的。该方法还有助于核查服装标准作为基于绩效的采购评估。在这项研究中没有准备单独的测试电池。这有助于节省成本,因为它不需要建造一个特定的测试电池,并且可供许多新兵使用。
