Abstract:
A blast energy deflector to reduce load and energy transmitted to a vehicle from buried mines or improvised explosive device (IED) threats. The deflector may add stiffness to the hull thereby protecting or delaying deformation or damage to the vehicle underside. The deflector may be hollow, filled with plastic or other composites to dissipate blast energy, or solid, and may be detachably affixed to the vehicle underside.

Claim (Index 1):
A blast energy deflector, comprising:\n a generally triangular body having a base affixed to an existing vehicle structure; the deflector having two sides that intersect at an apex; the deflector being formed with the base and the two sides as a closed form and being hollow along a length of the vehicle structure; each the side extending beyond the base to form legs; the blast deflector configured to be detachably secured to the vehicle structure; the legs oriented at an angle to accommodate the vehicle structure so that the deflector may accommodate the vehicle structure shape and, when affixed thereto, impart blast deflection along the length of the vehicle structure; and wherein the legs each have a plurality of apertures, wherein each aperture has a counter sink.
