calibration. However, some information pertaining to TACTICAL instruments is contained
in this TB.
5. Responsibilities
a. Local TMDE support coordinators will ensure that:
(1) Calibration support for RADIAC instruments that is traceable to the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is obtained from the appropriate TMDE
support organization.
(2) Owner/user organizations are kept informed of calibration due dates for
RADIAC instruments.
(3) Communication is established between owners/users of RADIAC instruments
(especially ACTIVE-type) and the supporting TMDE operations concerning services and
responsibilities outlined in this TB.
(4) Owner/user ACTIVE-type RADIAC instruments are identified to the supporting
TMDE operations by manufacturer, model, and serial number and this information is
updated as necessary.
b. Owner/user organizations of RADIAC instrument will:
(1) Comply with paragraph 6 a below (where applicable) of this TB.
(2) Comply with TB 750-25.
(3) Assure that ACTIVE type instruments:
(a) Are available in adequate quantities for organizational mission objectives,
but that quantities are not excessive, since these calibrations are more expensive than
those for TACTICAL instruments.
(b) Are identified in accordance with paragraph 4 a above.
(c) Are maintained in accordance with paragraphs 4 b and 4 d above.
(d) Are removed from service when poor maintenance records or inabilities to
maintain calibration are demonstrated.
d. The US Army TMDE Activity (USATA) will establish and maintain calibration
quality control of RADIAC instruments through:
(1) Analysis of calibration data submitted by USATA and other certified supporting
TMDE operations (APSL Directorate Nucleonics Section).
(2) Response to questions from owners/users and calibration coordinators
concerning RADIAC instrument calibration services (DSN 746-3317/0520/1302) (APSL
Directorate Nucleonics Section).
(3) Administration of technical audits of TMDE support operations supporting
ACTIVE-type instruments (APSL Directorate Nucleonics Section in conjunction with
USATA Inspection and Policy Compliance Division).
