Ballistics & Blast
Our interest in occupant protection has led to significant research in blast and fire conditions — from IEDs and plant explosions to terrorist infrastructure attacks and the transport of hazardous materials.

01
Infrastructure Blast Protection
We've developed composite structures that protect people and infrastructure from blast events. These designs support anti-terrorist infrastructure planning, pipeline protection from IEDs and in-plant explosions, and control-room protection from accidental chemical plant explosions.

02
Occupant Blast Protection
We evaluate how IED blasts affect vehicle occupant compartments, including blast strain rate effects on dummy performance — spinal, organ, and limb injury probabilities — and use that data to design better protective systems.

03
Blast Measurement & Research
Advanced measurement equipment lets us capture the pressure waves associated with blast events. That data drives the design and validation of our composite protection systems.

04
Burn Test & Heat Flux Design
Our burner systems replicate real-world fire conditions, so fire protection designs and hazardous materials protection systems get evaluated against conditions they'll actually face.

05
Anti-Terrorist Protection
Advanced composite technology from our R&D protects pipelines from terrorist blast threats.

06
Truck Transport Fire Safety
We help protect hazardous cargo under fire conditions — from fire detection and suppression to reducing the flammability of interior vehicle materials — preventing fires from turning into explosive outcomes after a crash.
