What are Bomb Blast Suppression Blankets?

The Bomb Blast Suppression Blanket is used to suppress and contain the blast and fragmentation from explosive threats, such as an Improvised Explosive Device (IED).

This lightweight and easily portable Blanket works with a ballistic containment ring for mitigating IEDs containing relatively smaller charges.

The Ballistic Blanket is a first response option for mitigating threats in public places such as airports and public transit stations until a Bomb Disposal or EOD team arrives on the scene and can take further action.

The system includes lifting straps and a Ballistic Collar placed on its edge around the suspicious item. The Blanket is then placed over the Collar and suspicious item. The Collar directs the force of the explosive blast upwards into the Blanket, which is designed to help contain fragments from an explosion.

A combination of suppression blanket & safety ring for quick protection against blasts/fragments

In recent times bomb explosions are the widely used as terror weapons. It is because explosions, in maximum cases, occur before neutralizing the bomb. Bomb blankets are thus quick & effective against most pipe bombs, hand grenades & fragments.

It can also be a temporary barrier on vehicle windows and a shield during barricades. In addition, explosives stored near explosion-prone areas are protected by bomb blankets.
