MIL-SID

The MIL-SID dummy is a side impact dummy designed for military blast applications. The dummy is derived from the core components of the EuroSID-2 dummy with rib extensions ES-2re, coupled with the head and neck of the H3-50th Percentile Male dummy, a new lower neck load cell, and the MIL-LX lower legs. Specially configured H3-50th Percentile Male dummies are being used for evaluation of mine blasts to military vehicles. Testing has revealed that significant amount of the forces occurring are lateral in nature and that a side impact dummy would be beneficial to capture these measurements. The MIL-SID is capable of measuring both lateral and vertical forces.
