The key personnel at Adelaide T&E Systems have years of experience in creating frangible (breakable) anatomical models for documentaries and other media projects (military training videos). These models are usually destructively tested to provide unsurpassed visual and scientific evidence of the effects of damaging loading to the human or animal body. Adelaide T&E Systems also has a range of advanced reusable models already in use or in development (military) that can survive extreme environments in order to demonstrate, through advanced instrumentation techniques, the effects of injury on any biological entity.
Whilst some of our standard products can be used (sometimes with modifications) to accurately demonstrate physical interactions, the diverse team at Adelaide T&E Systems is well placed to rapidly design and manufacture models to a client’s specification. This was the case with the most recent project we’ve undertaken where a Frangible Ballistic Head (FBH) was created from anatomical dimensions provided by the client to demonstrate the terminal effects of ballistic impact, thereby allowing for a routine forensic ballistic investigation to be performed on the residues left at the scene in order to prove or disprove the likelihood of a particular theory.
Our product performance results from many years of research into human surrogate tissues and their response, especially high strain-rate loading. Our clients can confidently rely on receiving surrogates engineered using the same research principles that have resulted in the Frangible Surrogate Leg (FSL) being recognised by NATO as a standard proofing tool for measuring the traumatic effects of landmines.
Key personnel at Adelaide T&E Systems have performed numerous on-camera roles (both locally and overseas), explaining surrogate technology, our research, design principles, manufacturing processes and capabilities. Our on-camera involvement can significantly enhance and add scientific credibility to any project being undertaken
