Active Blast Mitigation System (ABMS) Integration Technology Advancement

Abstract

DES has developed and evaluated the Active Blast Mitigation System (ABMS) integration design to the highest reasonable level of fidelity at the generic vehicle level to prove its viability and practicality moving forward into detailed, target vehicle platform-specific design in Phase II. This includes: the optimization of Tencate Active Blast Defeat System (ABDS) unit placement on the provided generic vehicle model to maximize vehicle occupant survivability; design of an interface mounting system to withstand both activation of the ABDS countermeasures and shock/vibration load; and physical prototyping and subsystem testing to validate analytical models and inform hardware selection.
