A methodology for assessing blast protection in explosive ordnance disposal bomb suits.
To reduce human casualties associated with explosive ordnance disposal, a wide range of protective wear has been designed to shield against the blast effects of improvised explosive devices and munitions. In this study, 4 commercially available bomb suits, representing a range of materials and armor masses, were evaluated against 0.227 and 0.567 kg of spherical C-4 explosives to determine the l...
متن کاملInstrumenting Bomb Disposal Suits with Wireless Sensor Networks
Bomb disposal suits contain a large amount of padding and armour to protect the wearer’s vital organs in the case of explosion. The combination of the heavy (roughly 40kg) suit, physical exertion, and the environment in which these suits are worn can cause the wearer’s temperature to rise to uncomfortable and potentially dangerous levels during missions. This paper reports on the development of...
متن کاملTraining Simulation of the Manipulator Vehicle tEODor for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and Improvised Explosive Device Disposal (IEDD)
The simulation of manipulator vehicles is a challenge in the field of EOD and IED disposal training. The focus in such vehicle simulations is to reproduce the behavior of the vehicle in terms of control and movement and also to simulate interactions with the environment in order to prepare the user for real operations. In this contribution an approach will be presented to ensure the quality of ...
متن کاملCompletely mechanical quick changeable joints for multipurpose explosive ordnance disposal robots
This paper is an investigation of completely mechanical quick changeable joints for multipurpose explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) robots. With the assistance of a quick changeable joint, an ordinary EOD robot becomes a multipurpose robot with an end effector which can be switched during the task. This exchangeable end effector permits the robot to perform more complex duties. Making the joint ...
متن کاملPhysiological Tolerance Times while Wearing Explosive Ordnance Disposal Protective Clothing in Simulated Environmental Extremes
Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians are required to wear protective clothing to protect themselves from the threat of overpressure, fragmentation, impact and heat. The engineering requirements to minimise these threats results in an extremely heavy and cumbersome clothing ensemble that increases the internal heat generation of the wearer, while the clothing's thermal properties reduce...
