Abstract
Due to the limited space available in modern cockpits and crewstations, certain critical anthropometric features of an aviator must be measured properly. Unreasonable and erroneous anthropometric values are sometimes recorded because of measuring and operator errors. The purpose of the Automated Anthropometric Data Measurement System (AADMS - pronounced ADAMS) is to reliably and accurately measure anthropometric features in a timely and efficient manner and to eliminate the source of many of these errors. AADMS utilizes a microcomputer interfaced to a variety of position sensors and transducers to gather and internally verify data on 11 anthropometric parameters.
