Rocket booster A powerful defense device to reduce the destructive power of landmines is developed with 50 powerful injections

In areas where military confrontation is spreading in war, conflict, etc., the damage caused by stepping on the landmines embedded in the ground continues. This is the same even if you are riding a car, many cars are blown away and many soldiers are killed. A new device developed by a British company to protect people's lives, equipped with a shock from the landmines thrusting from below, above the vehiclePowerful injection of rocket boosterIt is a truly powerful technique to hold down and offset impact by doing it.

This equipment is a British military affiliateAdvanced Blast and Ballistic Systems(ABBS) developed. In the following movies that actually examined the effect, the spectacle of surprises is contained quite easily.

When a soldier loses his life with a landmine, the cause is not caused by the blast itself. In fact the fact that a car pushed up from the bottom receives a sudden acceleration when it jumps up and the nerve and blood vessels in the body are damaged will result in fatal injuries.


In order to alleviate this phenomenon, ABBS has developed a device to prevent bouncing by forcibly pressing the car body with a rocket booster attached to the roof.


In this system, the sensor installed under the floor of the vehicle first detects the mine explosion. This floor is reinforced to withstand the impact of explosion.


When the sensor detects an explosion, 50 solid rocket boosters attached to the roof of the vehicle are sprayed all at once in 3/1000 sec. It is a mechanism to prevent the vehicle from blowing off by creating a force to push the car body downward.


ABBS examines how much difference occurs with the presence or absence of a rocket booster. First of all, if you explode a landmine under a land rover that does not wear a rocket booster ......


Due to the explosion of the mine of 6 kg, Land Rover jumped 5 meters. Of course the car body is almost uneven.


On the other hand, in the case of a land lover with a rocket booster ......


At the moment of the mine explosion, a dazzling flame rises upward.


When the dust falls, there is almost no intact Land Rover in there.


Even after the explosion, the car body retained its original shape, and it is possible to close the door as before. Even so, despite being sandwiched by strong forces from above and below, the toughness of the car body does not get stuck like a cushion.


It was a defense system of ABBS that seems to be able to expect a considerable effect when looking at the vehicle alone. In the future, further development will be promoted, and it will be judged to what extent the influence on people and goods inside will come out, and whether or not actual deployment can be decided after confirmation of that.
