Summary

The Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to the University of Virginia's Center for Applied Biomechanics for two distinct research services. The first service involves conducting predicted occupant kinematics modeling and analysis using MADYMO software to support personnel injury assessments for the COLUMBIA and VIRGINIA Block V Class submarines. This task requires analyzing government-provided time histories to define occupant kinematics and blunt impact injury risk, culminating in a technical white paper. The second service is to develop survivability risk curves for upper extremity fractures during flail events. This will be achieved by conducting three-point bending tests on twelve fresh-frozen cadaveric forearms to simulate impact into a rigid structure, with deliverables including a white paper, sensor data, and high-speed video. This research aims to fill a gap in arm injury criteria, supporting future SSNX assessments.
