Abstract: A container for containing an explosive device, including an outer shell and blast containing panels disposed against inner surfaces of the outer shell to substantially define an enclosure. Each blast containing panel includes a fragment-retaining layer and at least one mitigating layer facing the enclosure. Each mitigating layer includes a cell structure having an outer wall connected to the fragment-retaining layer and a cell walls extending from the outer wall and forming cells having one end closed by the outer wall and an opposed end open, a blast effect mitigating material received within the cells, a fabric layer disposed against and sealing the open end of the cells, a mesh layer overlaying the fabric layer, and a frame forming a perimeter surrounding sides of the cell structure. The mitigating layer reduces a blast wave force and the fragment-retaining layer resists a remainder of the blast wave force and retains fragments.

Abstract: A container for containing an explosive device, including a mitigating layer defining an enclosure openable to insert the explosive device therein and closable to surround the explosive device, the mitigating layer reducing a force of a blast caused by an explosion of the explosive device, and a fragment-retaining layer substantially surrounding the mitigating layer, the fragment-retaining layer being resistant to a remainder of the force of the blast passing through the mitigating layer and retaining fragments propagated by the explosion of the explosive device, such as to reduce potential injury to a person in proximity of the container.
