Indication of weapons of destruction is a set of measures that are carried out in conditions of the enemy’s use of weapons of mass destruction to detect radioactive, toxic and biological substances in various environments, such as air, water, soil and others. These activities help protect the public and facilities from exposure to these hazardous substances.
One of the main methods of indicating weapons of destruction is the use of special instruments and equipment. For example, dosimeters are used to detect radiation, and gas analyzers are used to detect toxic substances. In addition, specific tests may be used to determine the presence of biological agents.
Indication of weapons can be carried out both in peacetime and in wartime. In peacetime, it is necessary to prevent possible accidents at chemical and nuclear facilities, as well as to protect the population from possible terrorist attacks. In wartime, the indication of weapons helps determine the enemy’s location and tactics, and also helps make decisions to protect one’s own facilities and population.
Thus, the indication of weapons of destruction is an important component of the safety of the population and facilities in conditions of the possible use of weapons of mass destruction. It allows you to detect and identify hazardous substances and prevent their exposure to people and the environment.
