The thesis found that individual military services could improve electromagnetic radiation protection by adopting measures used by other services.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

The thesis aimed to improve protection for military personnel and the public from electromagnetic radiation hazards of military communications and radar systems across the 30 Hz to 300 Giga-hertz spectrum. The thesis detailed military involvement with EMR-emitting systems including submarine communications, radar, microwave food processing, and extremely low frequency communications. A comparison of protective measures across services identified areas where some services were not using measures employed by others.

Finding

Investigation reveals that there are several areas in which the individual services could improve their protective measures by adopting measures in use in other services.
