Extensive testing has also been carried out to evaluate performance against a range of IEDs, shaped charges and simulated explosive weapons. Defencell performs particularly well in blast mitigation tests as the cellular structure absorbs shock and minimizes shrapnel penetration.
Blast energy is dissipated across the length of the barrier, and the cellular structure absorbs fragmentation and ballistics damage.
Blast Protection Tested But Not Limited To
| Shaped Charge | Cased Charge |
| Earth-Penetrating Weapon (EPW) | Indirect Fire |
| Large Breaching | |
Advantages
- Mitigates the risk of secondary fragmentation.
- Protects against mortars, rockets and other fragmenting weapons.
- Absorbs fragmentation and ballistics.
- Cellular fabric construction dissipates energy across length of barrier.
