Abstract:
1. A non-lethal, projectile-deployed blast shield for mitigation of dangers posed by a suicide bomber suspect, the blast shield comprising: an inner protective layer configured for absorption of heat and shockwave energy generated by detonation of a person-borne improvised explosive device (PB-IED) attached to the suicide bomber, the absorption of energy including expansion of the inner protective layer to a point of failure within a break-away zone; an outer protective layer configured for resistance to penetration by penetrating metal projectiles (PMP's) projected by the detonation of the PB-IED; and a stand-off located between the inner protective layer and an adjacent protective layer, the stand-off being deployable so as to create the break-away zone; the blast shield being configured for deployment from a sabot projectile after the sabot projectile has been projected toward the suicide bomber suspect, the deployment including wrapping of a portion of the blast shield around the suicide bomber suspect so as to position and maintain the protective layers in front of the PB-IED.
