Test Methodology for Protection of Vehicle Occupants against Anti-Vehicular Landmine Effects (Methodologie d'essais pour la protection des occupants de vehicules contre les effets des mines terrestres anti-vehicules)
Abstract
In 2001, the NATO/RTO HFM-090/TG-25 was created in response to the NATO/RTO HFM ET-007, which identified the lack of suitable information for injury assessment of the anti-vehicle mine threat. Furthermore, the Task Group was asked to help the STANAG 4569 Team of Experts to develop an injury assessment methodology for the qualification of light-armored and logistic vehicles (blast) land mines protection systems. Injury criteria, tolerance levels and measurement methods were proposed to assess the most vulnerable body regions to a blast mine strike under a vehicle. The tolerance levels established for these body regions are considered to represent low risk of life-threatening and disabling injuries. The results, conclusions and recommendations of the HEM-090/TG-25 work are presented in the technical report.
