Proven History in Blast Dosimetry
Med-Eng is the proven industry expert in protecting our Warfighters from explosive threats. It has conducted research into Blast Effects on the Human Body since 1981 and applied this scientific knowledge to develop protective equipment to mitigate blast injuries to the warfighter. The success of this commitment is proven by lives saved.
Over nearly two decades, Med-Eng has been at the leading edge of research and development of sensor-based solutions for blast exposure monitoring, noise exposure, and impact monitoring. The company is best known in this field for its personnel-borne Blast Tracker® and vehicle-mounted Black Bird® blast dosimeters, fielding thousands of each platform.

Next Generation Blast Tracker Technology
Med‑Eng is delivering the Blast Exposure Monitoring (BEMO) Sensor program in support of the United States Department of War. Development of BEMO leverages Med‑Eng’s 40 years of experience protecting personnel against blast effects and its proven Blast Tracker technology.
The next generation of Med-Eng blast sensors are built on 3 key principles:
The next generation of Med-Eng blast sensors are built on 3 key principles:
- Record and measure blast overpressure and noise exposures affecting the warfighter in training and in battle. This includes noise and pressure from the use of heavy weapon systems, breaching, and other dynamic training environments.
- Recognize immediate blast, noise, and impact exposure with automated data collection through mobile applications (iOS, Android, ATAK) and cloud-based dashboards. Team or organization defined occupational safe limits to alert individual users, range safety staff, and leadership to exposures outside of acute and accumulated exposure limits.
- Reactin real time by informing team leaders, unit commanders, and medical personnel about the blast overpressure and noise exposure levels of the warfighters under their command by seamlessly integrating individual sensors to cloud-based dashboards to electronic health records. Provide immediate feedback to assist in triage and enable rapid adjustments to tactics, techniques, and procedures.
Med-Eng is advancing the next generation of personnel-borne blast exposure monitoring solutions. By integrating rugged sensor hardware, mobile applications, and intuitive data dashboards, the system transforms blast exposure events into actionable health and readiness insights. Data can be captured through ATAK, Android, and iOS applications, managed locally through Med-Eng’s Range Safety Officer (RSO) and Blast Tracker PC applications, and securely exported to approved third-party data management platforms. This enables real-time decision-making for Warfighters, team leaders, and medical personnel while supporting long-term tracking of both acute and cumulative blast exposure.
