The Impact of Proposed Radio Frequency Radiation Standards on Military Operations.

Abstract

Research conducted in the past few years provides a better understanding of the way radio-frequency radiation (RFR) is absorbed and distributed in living systems. This has led to general agreement on a common denominator for assessing biological effects of RFR, which, in turn, has resulted in the development and application of new RFR safety guidelines. This lecture series will include presentations on (1) the physical interactions of RFR fields with biological systems, (2) the biological effects of RFR exposures, (3) the measurement of RFR fields in operational settings, and (4) the development and operational impact of new RFR safety guidelines. This Lecture Series, sponsored by the Aerospace Medical Panel of AGARD, has been implemented by the Consultation and Exchange Programme of AGARD. Keywords include: Radio frequencies, Radiation effects, Radiology, Health physics, Safety engineering, Standards, Military operations, and Military personnel.
