Human Performance

The topic focuses on developing technology that will allow the radiation detection industry to develop and propose low-cost dose rate meters that are significantly smaller and more wearable than those based on current GM-tubes. Smaller RADIACS (radiation detectors) will decrease the weight burden of equipment on its users, reducing fatigue and improving maneuverability through lighter and smaller equipment across the Army and other commercial platforms.

The Army needs a health- and stress-monitoring system to help eliminate deaths in the Combat Diver Qualification Course (CDQC).
