About

CB (Chemical Biological)protective clothing provides a thermal resistance between the human body and its environment. CB protective clothing will be essential for combat soldiers in case of non conventional attacks. "Lifebeam" developed a new non invasive sensor for body core temperature detection. The research purpose is to evaluate the "Lifebeam" sensor during heat tolerance test while wearing CB protective clothing.
