The Blast Gauge System is a set of wearable sensors that monitor blast overpressure.
The Blast Gauge will record overpressure data over a period of time to create a waveform of the blast wave that the user can view for analysis. Acceleration data can also be recorded.[1] The Blast Gauge allows the user to identify individuals exposed to blasts and to maintain a record of exposures. It also helps to refine tactics, techniques, procedures (TTPs).[2]
The United States Department of Defense is trying to protect service members from blast injury such as traumatic brain injury (TBI),[3][4] and they are putting the Blast Gauge System on personnel to record and monitor blast exposures.[5][6]
