Abstract
An explosive mitigation apparatus (2) for use in mitigating the effect of an explosive event, the apparatus comprises blast detection means (21) which is capable of detecting an approaching shock wave or electromagnetic wave, caused by the explosion of an explosive device or other ordnance and which produces an output signal indicative of an explosive event, a countermeasure device (22) comprising a shaped explosive charge (33) and a load (31) in which the explosive charge, when detonated, causes the load to be ejected from the device as a high velocity jet at least partially in a direction towards the approaching fireball, blastwave(s) and/or fragments, and an initiator (34) which causes the detonation of the countermeasure in response to the output signal from the blast detection means, the apparatus can be used to protect a vehicle or other object, or as a protective barrier around an explosive device that is being disarmed.
