DESCRIPTION
The Joint Personal Dosimeter-Individual (JPD-IND) provides a sensor to record and retrieve a service member’s radiation exposure from occupational to tactical levels. It provides a joint solution to increase capability and reduce life cycle costs, as well as addresses Operation Tomodachi lessons learned for common, interoperable equipment with adequate sensitivity and common units of measure.
BENEFIT TO THE SOLDIER
JPD-IND will provide a sensor to record and retrieve the warfighter’s radiation exposure from occupational to tactical levels. JPD-IND will be a National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program that will allow dose of record for warfighter’s medical records to be obtained. The acquisition strategy leverages the Navy’s battlefield dosimeter to address interoperability lessons learned from Operation Tomadachi.
