Passive safety of the user of special vehicles for transporting unexploded ordnance

Abstract

Transporting unexploded ordnance (UXO) involves the risk of their detonation, which poses a safety hazard not only to the vehicle crew, but also to people in the immediate vicinity of these products. In the case of the intended use of the vessel for the transport of fragmenting charges, this results in the need to use additional protective structures inside the vessel. As part of the work, materials were selected and a design of replaceable internal vessel elements was developed, which are resistant to the pressure acting inside after the charge detonation and reduce the kinetic energy of fragments to such an extent that penetration of the main walls of the vessel does not occur.
