This study presents a practical example of the selection of protective equipment for 12-h cold survival on land and at sea using computer model and manikin data. The thermal immersion manikin was exposed to 19 realistic survival scenarios to estimate the thermal resistance of different survival systems. The computer survival model used specific environmental limits and anthropometric data from the target population in addition to the estimated manikin thermal resistance values to generate survival times. The results showed that the required 12-h survival time criteria were met for all dry land scenarios (> 2 Clo), but not for wet land or water scenarios ( < 1 Clo). Those data provided the basis for the selection of survival equipment and the development of survival strategies for aircrew.
