A set of recommended measures for the protection of persons during the transport of found unexploded ordnance

The Certified methodology: A set of recommended measures for the protection of persons during the transport of found unexploded ordnance. The main benefit is the increased protection of the technicians, i.e. the highly qualified specialists who make up the vehicle crew.

The "Certified Methodology" is a direct result of the research project of the Ministry of Internal Affairs "Protection of persons in the vicinity of explosion" of the safety research program for the needs of the state. This result was requested by the research contract provider/awardee. This result is significant in particular because, if the conditions in the methodology are followed, it is possible to protect the bomb disposal technicians and other persons in the vicinity, from the pressure and shrapnel effect of an accidental explosion of the transported found ammunition.

The proposed modifications for the protection of the crew against accidental explosion of found unexploded ordnance are intended to be incorporated into a commercially produced and available production VW transporter, or any vehicle of similar type. The proposed modifications of the vehicle consist of built in barriers made of ballistic plates mounted on lightweight construction from aluminium profiles. The built in prototype of the protective barrier was tested in real explosion of a mortar mine.
