Our new ASL Advanced Blast Blankets achieved 730 m/s during our recent testing at Precision Ballistics Laboratories UK.
The V50 is a ballistic limit test using the procedures of MIL-STD-662F, that measures the velocity at which a projectile will penetrate a material 50% of the time. It’s a standard metric used to assess the ballistic performance of armour materials.
The test involves controlling shot velocities sequentially to create a sample with results on both sides of the V50 velocity. The V50 is the average of the highest non-puncture velocities and the lowest puncture velocities in the given speed range.
ASL GRP blast suppression blankets are used to suppress the blast fragmentation from an explosion that can cause damage and injuries. These blankets are used for suspected IEDs contained in packages up to briefcase size and pipe bombs.
The multiple layer ballistic material is enclosed in a heavy-duty nylon, water-resistant cover which is fitted with lifting straps and clearly marked DANGER.
Our standard blankets are available at 400m/s or 500m/s protection levels.
