The purpose of this study is to develope a design prototype of 'Smart Battle Jacket' for the future soldier system. Future battle field is supposed to be the place where the information is the most important. Future soldiers are also supposed to get digital devices to have more possibility of survival in the battle field. To design the smart battle jacket that has digital devices inside, it's needed to forecast the body sizes and shape of the future soldiers, to research the human bodies and movements, and to study the functions of the digital devices and the relationship between the bodies and the devices. The usability of the 1st model for the Smart battle jacket had been tested, and the model had been corrected by the results from the test. After all, a smart battle jacket design prototype for the future soldier system has been developed.

미래의 정보전의 환경 하에서 병사들은 전투 상황 중에 각종 정보를 획득하고 이에 신속히 대응하는 하나의 체계(system)로서 전투 임무를 담당하게 될 것이며, 미래의 병사들은 각종 첨단 장비들을 신체에 부착하고 전투에 임하게 될 것이다. 첨단 디지털 기기들을 추가로 휴대하고도 기동성과 움직임에 저해 받지 않고, 오히려 정보력 상승으로 더 나은 전투력을 갖추기 위해 장치 구성품들을 의복에 내장시킨 '스마트 전투복'을 입을 것으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 정확한 모션 캡쳐 솔루션을 지원하는 VICON사의 Motion Capture System을 이용하여 동작에 따른 체표변화를 측정하고 해석하여 적절한 신체 부위에 기기를 배치함으로써 미래 전장에 적합한 스마트 전투복 디자인을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다.

미래병사를 위한 전투지원 시스템은 여러 가지 디지털 디바이스로 구성되며, 이러한 디바이스들을 적절한 위치에 분산시킴으로써 병사의 전투력을 향상시킬 수 있도록 설계하는 것이 중요하다. 분산 디자인을 위해서는 동작에 따른 인체의 변화를 측정하는 것이 중요하며, 특히 센서를 탑재하기 위해서는 인체 표면의 변화가 세밀히 분석되어야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 Moir$\acute{e}$ 계측방법을 이용하여 동작에 따른 체표변화를 측정함으로써 각종 디지털 디바이스를 탑재할 적절한 신체 부위를 알아내어 기기를 배치함으로써 미래 전장에 적합한 스마트 전투복 디자인을 개발하는 것을 목표로 한다.

The objective of the study is was investigate the condition of the battle dress uniform worn by male members of the Korean Police Special Weapons Attack Team(KP-SWAT), identify problems, and provide basic raw materials for developing improved design of BDU. For this purpose, the researcher conducted a questionnaire survey on 92 male members of SWAT (Special Weapon Attack Team) units in Seoul using a questionnaire developed through observation and interview. Also, the body sizes of male SWAT members were measured. According to the results of body size measurements, male SWAT members generally require uniforms with a target bust girth, armhole, biceps circumference, thigh and calf circumference, longer jacket length, sleeve length, and trouser length to the knee. According to the results of the questionnaire survey, they reported dissatisfaction with the fit. In addition, they said that the Pockets are positioned too low for convenient use. Many subjects reported that their trousers were too short because of the rubber rings at the bottom of the legs. In addition, many subjects requested the alteration of the inconveniences caused by the designs finished with velcro on the bottom collar of the upper uniform, the marks and ensigns of the upper uniform, the bottom of the upper and lower uniform, and several pockets. Furthermore, there were many complaints concerning how they had to wear their uniform. The most frequently worn out and the body parts most often injured in field training and operations, they were reported, on the upper uniform, as the elbow, collar, neck, armpit, shoulder, and sleeve hem in that order, and on the lower uniform, the knee, interior calf, waist (belt rings), buttocks (rear pockets), and the bottom of the trousers (ankle) in that order As for questions concerning priorities in the improvements of the operational uniform and preferred design, the subjects recommended improvement in safety (protectiveness), workability (motional flexibility), design (shape), fit (size), comfort, ease in terms of putting on and taking off, etc., and the majority preferred two-piece designs ($67.4\%$), followed by one-piece ($30.4\%$), or both ($2.2\%$).
