Zusammenfassung:	A robust model of the HMMWV with an occupant model was created and analyzed using a variety of probabilistic methods. Methodologies were developed to determine the relative importance of structural components of the vehicle under different crash and blast scenarios. With the integration of the high fidelity neck and head model, a methodology to calculate the probability of injury to soft tissues of the neck was created and tested. These models and software tools can now be used by the Army to evaluate future designs and improve current vehicle designs in an effort to improve occupant safety on and off the battlefield.
