Blast Mitigation:
Abstract
This effort designs, fabricates and evaluates advanced survivability and protection capabilities, tools and technologies to improve protection against vehicle mines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other underbody threats and crash events. This effort also designs and evaluates technologies purposed for protecting the occupant such as seats and restraints. This effort creates the laboratory capability needed to enable expeditious research and development of blast-mitigating technologies. Blast and crash mitigation technologies are further investigated and matured in such areas as active and passive exterior/hull/cab/kits, interior energy absorbing capabilities for seats, floors, restraints, sensors for active blast mitigating technologies and performance evaluation, modeling and simulation (M&S), experimentation and instrumentation.
