Battlefield Dosimeter

Battlefield dosimeters are devices used to measure and monitor the levels of radiation exposure in a battlefield or other hazardous environments. They are classified under the supply class Hazard-Detecting Instruments And Apparatus, which falls under the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.

These dosimeters are designed to be portable and rugged, capable of withstanding the harsh conditions of a battlefield. They are typically worn by military personnel or first responders who may be exposed to radiation during their operations.

The primary function of a battlefield dosimeter is to measure the amount of radiation absorbed by an individual over a certain period of time. This information is crucial for assessing the potential health risks and determining the appropriate safety measures.

Some battlefield dosimeters are also equipped with alarms or indicators to alert the wearer when radiation levels exceed a certain threshold. This helps ensure that individuals can take immediate action to minimize their exposure and protect themselves.

Overall, battlefield dosimeters play a critical role in monitoring and managing radiation exposure in hazardous environments, helping to safeguard the health and safety of personnel on the battlefield.
