Abstract:

Personnel is the core element in the battlefield, and is one of the most vulnerable and complex objects.The personnel vulnerability research involves the mechanics, mathematics, statistics, medicine, biology and other disciplines, which is difficult to study, but it is of great value to carry out the assessment of lethal efficacy, protective efficacy, and rescue of battle wounds. By summarizing the literatures on vulnerability analysis of different targets, this paper proposes that damage score and kill criteria are two important links in personnel vulnerability analysis. Based on this, the current research status of personnel damage scoring is reviewed. Four commonly-used scoring methods, including abbreviated injury scale (AIS), injury severity score (ISS), adjusted severity of injury index(ASII) and military combat injury scale(MCIS), and their applications are introduced, and the research dynamics, assessment models, and kill criteria of the four main killing elements (shock wave, projectile, shock vibration, and heat) on the damage of unprotected personnel in typical battlefield environments are presented. On this basis, the application technology of personnel vulnerability analysis based on digitalization mannequins is analyzed, the main application scenarios of vulnerability analysis results are discussed, and the possible major development directions in this field are analyzed. This paper can provide an important reference for the research of personnel vulnerability.

Key words: battlefield personnel, vulnerability, trauma score, injury criteria, casualty prediction
