Publication number: 20230358511Abstract: A protective barrier system designed to protect against high-energy events, such as impacts from ballistic threats or blasts. In one embodiment, the protective barrier system comprises a blast mitigation panel in the front (on the threat side of the barrier), a ballistic resistant panel in the back (on the asset side of the barrier), and a frame that is configured to incorporate the blast mitigation panel and ballistic resistant panel, and stand the panels upright so as to form a barrier. The blast mitigation panel and ballistic resistant panel are modular and are easily attached to and detached from the frame to create a protective barrier that can be easily customized to protect structures or assets of nearly any shape or size from both blasts and ballistics. For example, another embodiment is a protective barrier system that may be used as body armor or personal protection for an individual.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: James Arthur Warren, Jason Lovaine Blaylock

Publication number: 20230057445Abstract: Devices and methods for blast/fire containment are disclosed herein. Devices include containers designed to contain and/or mitigate high energy events such as blasts from explosions or thermal runaways. The containers include a body that is built to define an interior chamber shaped to receive an explosive device or a device susceptible to thermal runaway. The container comprises a plurality of substructures that are arranged in a layered sequence to provide the desired effect. The substructures act in concert to decouple the shock load to the main containment structure using shock decoupling with energy dissipation and attenuation technology, having a highly deformable polymer structure, and managed venting. In thermally dominated events, such as a runaway LI battery fire, a crushable medium present in one or more layers of the container presents a significant thermal barrier and contains the fire.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2022Publication date: February 23, 2023Inventors: James Arthur WARREN, Jason Lovaine BLAYLOCK

Publication number: 20210404771Abstract: A composite material system having an aggregate bound by an elastomer encapsulant. The composite material (CM) is designed to defeat impinging projectiles by converting the kinetic energy (KE) in the projectile to damage in the aggregate and the elastomer and increasing the thermal energy in the CM and the projectile via frictional heating. In one embodiment, the CM comprises certain kinds of rocks encapsulated (or bound) in a hyper-elastic polymer, such as polyurethane (“PU”). The CM may be shaped into convenient shapes from modular assembly to create a ballistic resistant surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: December 30, 2021Inventors: James Arthur Warren, Jason Lovaine Blaylock
