Publication number: 20080173167Abstract: A blast energy mitigation structure may employ a V-shaped hull to decrease the pressure wave imparted to a vehicle during a blast event, and/or an energy absorbing structure to absorb a portion of the blast force, thereby minimizing the forces and accelerations experienced by passengers in the vehicle and consequently reducing their injuries and increasing their survivability during a blast event. An exemplary blast energy mitigation structure may have a V-shaped hull and an energy absorbing structure incorporated into the chassis of a vehicle such as a Tactical Wheeled Vehicle, the energy absorbing structure comprising a truss-like structure including I-beams.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2007Publication date: July 24, 2008Applicants: Armor Holdings, Lockheed Martin CorporationInventors: Shane F. Mills, Michael Boczek, Kevin Klatte, Brian Poland
