Traumatic Brain Injury in the Military

BAE Systems has announced a $17 million U.S. Army contract will allow the company to provide a system called Headborne Energy Analysis and Diagnostic System (HEADS) to the military to detect even mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Sometimes soldiers will continue their mission after an explosion not realizing that they may have a concussion that could have long term effects. HEADS will be placed in the soldier's helmet and a red light will blink upon impact to alert the soldier that he/she may have a TBI. This technology will also help with developing better protective equipment.
