Features of the use of protective equipment in the conditions of the influence of corpuscular radiation

Abstract

The analysis of the available means of individual protection of the leading countries of the world, the concept of creating a complex of combat equipment (KBE) of the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the existing state of equipment of the servicemen made it possible to conclude that they do not fully meet the requirements of modern armed struggle and are not considered to be able to solve tasks qualitatively protection. Proposals have been made for the protection of personnel in conditions of radioactive contamination and exposure to ionizing radiation through the use of modern elements of military equipment. Proposals are being formed that can be reflected in methodological guidelines and algorithms for actions under conditions of exposure to ionizing radiation and programs for creating a complex of military equipment for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Based on the conditions of radioactive contamination, it is proposed to protect the organs of vision with the help of protective ballistic glasses-masks, which, due to their design and the properties of the materials from which they are made, prevent the effect of radioactive substances on the mucous membrane of the eyes and the skin around them, which greatly facilitates their removal during remediation. The above-mentioned proposals can be reflected in the instructions and algorithms of actions in the conditions of impact on the personnel of ionizing radiation and programs for the creation of a complex of combat equipment for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
