The body armor for military personnel should provide a balance of protection and comfort. For both men and women, if body armor does not fit correctly and provide adequate coverage, it can adversely affect the safety and effectiveness. The design and manufacture of the body armor for female officers can present issues of particular concern. For now, Romania's female soldiers don't have any other choice than to wear men's body armor of smaller sizes, even though their body shape is different. For many women, that means wearing a standard issue vest that is tight across the torso and too loose around the middle can cause discomfort and offers less protection. The aim of the project was to develop a new protective bullet proof vest that is manufactured taking into account the female body shape, that provides comfort, mobility and adjustment possibilities, while superior ballistic resistance properties will be similar to the existing body armors. For morphological characterization of the target group, the women recruited in the national defense system, it was made an anthropometric survey using 3D scanning technology the human body in order to provide the necessary body size database to design the ballistic body armor. From primary anthropometric data we extracted the body dimensions required in designing the protective bullet proof vests. The novelty in the body armor design consist in taking into account the shape and cup size of Romanian female body. For the determination of the cup size we selected these critical dimensions: bust and under-bust circumferences.

This paper presents some aspects regarding the usage of the cloud computing platform in the anthropometric study area.The cloud database has the advantage of ensuring high performance with minimal risk of data corruption. The users, different research centers, can run databases by using a virtual machine image.The database used on the cloud will be sql based (mysql database). The positive aspect of using cloud computing is the convert access database in a simple way and enables the access to a variety of mobile devices. Cloud computing is the use of computing resources (hardware and software) that are delivered as a service over a network. If it is assumed that there are a variety of scanned human bodies inserted into existing databases on different computers anywhere in the world, then these data can be the subject of classification or can be accessed and used quickly and efficiently to achieve optimization of bodies to be used in simulations subsequent. The fact consists in obtain and manage databases that containing data on antropomorphological populations from different countries. The objectives are to establish the body morfotype classification for different population and ages.These databases will contain information centralized and taken by each country's population by using the 3d scanner. The goals of this motion will be to obtain fast an comparisons between different types of human bodies used in the investigation necessary to establish the appropriate body size that can be used in the structural design of clothing pattern design. This approach is useful both universities with specific profile design patterns for clothing but also for clothing manufacturers.

In the activity of clothing realization in industrial system and based on user specific sizes (customized clothing), it is very important for the pattern designer to operate with a maximum amount of information about potential users' body shape. At the stage of establishing the necessary database, it is necessary that the pattern designer to assess swiftly and accurately the morphological features of the customer in order to design patterns in terms of efficiency, high quality and accuracy. Current performance of CAD systems have specialized modules such as MTM module in Gemini Pattern Editor program, allowing the development of clothing based on individual sizes of the customers, through the adaptation of algorithms structure for calculating the construction segments to concrete form of the body surface of different users. CAD systems performances are joined by 3D scanning technology development that results in storing a large number of anthropometric sizes used in improving current technology of constructive designing for clothing. In this context, it explains the permanent concern of specialists in the field of constructive designing of clothing to improve the entire process, from initial database creation to its operation so that the outcome of this process will ensure recipients with clothing products correlated with morphological features of users. This paper aims to develop a software solution center on a relatively small number of anthropometric sizes taken on any subject, to allow the pattern designer to evaluate objectively and in a very short time: body type (standard dimensions) and morphological features: posture, size and conformation to any subject "i". In order to develop the mathematical model, it was necessary to establish a database that assesses the morphological features of the automated test subjects.

The field of functional clothing is vast and varied, with each function having its own set of specifications, material needs, and corresponding technologies and methods. Garments for persons with special needs are part of the functional clothing category and are meant to improve the quality of life of those whose body shape, mobility or dexterity differs from the norms. Virtual prototyping of garments provides high potential for design, product development and marketing processes. This paper presents the virtual prototyping of functional knitted garments for persons with special needs (elderly people, people with disabilities, operational staff from defense/public order/security structures) highlighting the importance of personalization and its competitive advantages. The steps to develop the virtual prototypes were: i) 2D pattern design from data in the dimensional table of the model and in correlation with the real sizes of knitted garments using Pattern Design Software (PDS) from OPTITEX; ii) Simulation knitted garments prototypes on the avatar using Optitex 3D Suite Software; iii) Evaluating the fit of the product on the body. The possibility to check the aspect of the product and how it is matching on the 3D model of the human body, without requiring physical development of a prototype is the main advantage of the virtual prototypes. If the product does not fit properly on the 3D surface of 3D model (mannequin / avatar), the designer can easily modify the shapes of parts and then check the new shape by repeating the steps of 3D simulation process in virtual space.

This paper depicts the early phase of development for an integrated system tailored for emergency response actions and remote sensing. This paper focuses on the support system envisioned as an integrated Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) system that consists of one or more ultra light multifunctional aerial units with a configuration that can be adapted to the nature of the intervention: monitoring, mapping, observation and logistics etc. Starting from wing airfoil and material selection and ending with the experimental model manufacture, the paper will present the development of a single sail paraglider wing that can meet the operational demands for emergency response situations. The wing was designed mainly to have an easy handling and to have a predictable deployment at all times. The entire system and the aerial units were designed with increased modularity in order to be tailored for specific operational requirements of the intervention.
