Energy Absorbing Cushion Inserts for Rigid Blast Seats
By SKYDEX Technologies
Blast seats are used in military operations to protect troops, commanders and drivers from the effects of sudden impacts, mines, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). These seats are meant to not only serve as a cushioning layer to provide comfort for the vehicle occupant on rough, uneven roads, but are also a critical survivability component during a blast event. SKYDEX has developed seat cushion inserts that are layered within the traditional foam cushion materials to enhance protection capabilities to meet industry standards in both rigid blast seat design and to improve the performance, durability and comfort of shock mounted blast seats.
